You won't see hipsters or trendy kids there. Nor will there likely to druggies, ladies of ill-repute, or winos, laid out near the entrance that you have to step over.

>I don't have any problem with that. What I'm seeing is that McDonald's in Europe is not a kid friendly place. Mostly they seem to cater to the 18+ age group. They sell beer fer christsake! My guess is that poor folk don't eat at McDonald's in Europe. Too expensive.

If poor folk want it cheaper, they'll have to cook something
themselves.
