It's 11.30 on a Thursday, in a fairly quiet town, and there are 18 cars queuing for McDonald's Drive Thru.

Like wtf, where do all these people come from, and why the fuck are they at McDonald's.

Obviously I don't count and what I'm doing is perfectly reasonable.

Nowhere else to go if they’re hungry this late

ObviouslyIDontCount · 18/06/2026 23:33

And it isn't because they are slow, there is a constant flow of people leaving and joining.

I reckon it's football related

County liners need to meet somewhere.

Yes I get the no where to go, it is a very boring town.

I've just looked in and there are loads of people there as well

That made me snort, and then I snorted again at the inappropriateness of reading that and snorting.

Ah maybe, I feel the need to come here on another evening, just for the research mind.

Yes, come back another night same time and do a proper comparison. Get a McFlurry while you're about it.

Definitely. Go again in a month or so when it's over to compare and contrast. You should also probably go on each day of the week to get full stats.

I am liking this support for my research. We are now leaving, I think I will need to make a graph. I used to like the squared paper.

Now 24 cars in the line. Most people don't seem to be wearing much, it is not warm. Maybe there is a correlation to feeling cold and hunger.

Mcflurry machine was not working. Sad times.

Young people bored to fuck with living in a “fairly quiet town”. My advice is: get an education, leave for a city with more evening options than the drive-thru MacDonalds.
