This article in the New York Times today caught my eye.
It's about a group of senior citizens who go to McDonald's each day for coffee and company, but they're no longer welcome because they tend to stay all day.
There were a couple of rotating characters who used to park at my local Starbucks in Sacramento, and they stayed for hours, no problem.
This McDonald's has put up signs stating patrons have 20 minutes to eat and go.
They call the police regularly to escort the senior citizens out. They shuffle out with their walkers and canes.
Where is the dignity?
There has to be a better way to handle this.
What would you do?
