McDonald's Fines Customers Who Take Too Long to Eat
Eat up, shop fast and move along.
That's the message some stores and fast-food establishments, including McDonald's, is giving its customers in England.
At 40 McDonald's there, drive-thru customers are given 45 minutes to finish their meal and leave the parking lot before a $225 ticket is issued, The Guardian reported.
The restrictions were put in place because people were abusing parking privileges at the establishments, a spokeswoman for McDonald's told The Guardian.

$225 seems steep but I can see where they wouldn't want their parking lot taken up by people that are not customers.

It's called FAST FOOD not FAST EAT. You have to savor those fabulous entrees.

After the fries cool, they aren't as good, so I wouldn't want to spend that long eating them anyway....

Who eats in their car in the parking lot? Why wouldn't you sit at a table inside?
