Okay. FLAG away but seriously, the sitting in long rows is NOT conducive to group conversation. My opinion: Hume McD has been ruined with the configuration. AS I said above: and fat people (close to THIS home :-) can NOT wedge in. So there! I DO appreciate, however, the outside chairs. Now THOSE are nice and comfy. Mrs. "Flag," Why NOT hash browns?</p> LOLOL I “figured” it was close to home. Okay. FLAG away but seriously, the sitting in long rows is NOT conducive to group conversation.

I hate when I have to eat at McDonald's, but when I do, I much prefer their breakfasts. I can't stomach their hamburgers anymore.</p> I would love that.

GREAT idea! BUT not a GREAT idea changing the configuration to "implant" the MCafes around Hamburg. TWO places have been "wrecked" with "the new" look. Sitting at bars that are far too narrow for we heavier folks! Is something being "said to us"? Now back to food .... GRREAT idea and while at it in Germany, how about Hash Browns! :-)</p> I would LOVE one for dinner! GREAT idea! BUT not a GREAT idea changing the configuration to “implant” the MCafes around Hamburg.
