They've announced theyll be closed by tomorrow night.
I feel sad for the thousands of staff but also for us thst we've lost another part of our lives, my DS loves MacDonalds, it's part of our aider routine and something tbsts just for us that it's gone now. Not even like we can go for one last happy meal

I hope the lovely staff can pick up work in the supermarkets

Someone will be along in a minute spouting shite about how awful their food is and "obesity crisis".

crispysausagerolls · 22/03/2020 20:53

I rely on McDonald’s a LOT for drive thru coffee and drinks when DS having car nap. Selfishly this also makes me sad! But probably for the best

SlipSlidin · 22/03/2020 20:54

No they’re not. Just seated areas.

Neverender · 22/03/2020 20:55

I'm pretty sure McDonalds can survive this and take government help to pay staff. Not bothered at all about "one last happy meal". They've taken over the bloody world!

NotEvenTheKing · 22/03/2020 20:55

Do you have a source for this? Because I can't find anything on google.

Idontbelieveit12 · 22/03/2020 20:56

@SlipSlidin they are closing completely tomorrow

HindsightIs2020 · 22/03/2020 20:56

They've announced it on Facebook

ShirleyPhallus · 22/03/2020 20:56

I thought they were leaving the stores open for drive though but closing the seated areas?

Where did you hear this?

Office365 · 22/03/2020 20:56

Please supply link to say it's closing?
Because I've heard they've made all restaurants drive thru only not closing altogether.

SarahInAccounts · 22/03/2020 20:56

Not just sitting areas. Complete closure announced today.

SleepingStandingUp · 22/03/2020 20:56

I don't care. My son is tube fed and Maccies is one of the first foods he actively chose to ate. They were always kind too. One day he fell over it side on our way home, cue massive nosebleed so I picked him up (no mean feat) and took him and a double buggy full of babies back to maccies. Not only did they help sort him out, thry at he'd his whilst I washed him blood off, brown him a toy out the display and asked how he was next time I went in

I thought it was just the seating area too and drive thru is still open.

tesco chicken nuggets from now on then! Totally understandable though.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 22/03/2020 20:57

You can’t go to McDonald’s anyway even if they were staying open!! No non essential contact. That means don’t go to McDonald’s!

SleepingStandingUp · 22/03/2020 20:57

All gone.

Picture not working. They’ve posted on Facebook all stores will be closed by 7pm tomorrow

niffynoonoo · 22/03/2020 20:57

its on their main website. closing from tomorrow.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 22/03/2020 20:58

Good. They tried takeaway only and it was ridiculous. Still massive queues of people very close together. The staff needed protecting from this bloody virus.

MonaChopsis · 22/03/2020 20:58

Drive thru's are remaining open, you can still fill all your junk food needs OP!

Idontbelieveit12 · 22/03/2020 20:59
