I went to McDonald's today and got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette.

She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.

I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.

That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.

Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas. Which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?

How do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?

I hope this is just a horrible copypasta and you didn’t just waste 20 mins of your life.

Sorry to hear about all this op but the good news is this is legitimate grounds to sue. I forget the actual law but you can probably get at least 10-20 thousand from the store, possibly more. I suggest you book a lawyer pronto

eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant is just one of the endless examples of an eroded humanity among the public. the world's most powerful fast food company, with a mascot as recognizable as Jesus or Santa Claus, exploits its workers in low pay, grueling, high volume conditions. notice in the OP story when the laborer was tragically fulfilling her (also corporatized) habit of smoking and tried to express a bit of humanity the OP recoiled, as if she were inhuman, merely an object within the international corporate machine of mcdonald's (in his local manifestation). but the tragedy was compounded as the OP had chosen to strip himself of his humanity, separating himself from the public dining hall for his own private dining vestibule, a machine built to combust petroleum and accelerate its mass for road travel. to substitute the chatter of the herd his subconscious so badly longs for he listens to an audiobook while he eats his mcchicken, afraid to glance out his window may he gaze upon the socially designed public eating space he has forsaken for his prison, or worse yet one of the other sad souls who like him, has given up their humanity in exchange for greater security.
