Mcdonald's

For a working professional like myself who resides on the autism spectrum, this USED to be my go to place. For five years I have been loyally patronizing this location. Being that I harbor utter disdain for coffee, Starbucks did not qualify as a lounging option. This location became the place where I could work on my laptop and enjoy their menu. During my patronage era, I have always treated the staff with utmost respect, I have kept to myself and I have always maintained a pleasant demeanor. Though I'm not a drive-thru person, I even continued to patronize this location during the two-year dining room shutdown. I was pleased to see that the lobby had been once again opened for business. Today, the manager summarily told me to leave because of a thirty-minute dining time limit. Mind you, a no-loitering sign has been hanging there for years, but never had been enforced. For years, many of the elderly patrons as well as people like myself would enjoy the environment, food, and service this facility offered. A true coffee-house vibe in some ways. I was surprised. Asked to leave? I was quietly penning a novel on my laptop, and I was the ONLY patron occupying the dining area. After all the years and money I have spent here, I thought she was joking. She wasn't. There was also no incident to warrant this, no provocation. I was beyond offended. However, I left without incident. I calculated the money I have spent there over the years and it is sad knowing that they will miss out on future revenue being that I refuse to patronize this location ever again. Please note, that for except this incident, the staff has usually been complimentary and professional. I wish no ill will on any of them.
