    The McDonalds near me recently clobbered their tiny playplace and turned it into a … conference room/center?

    About the only time I went there was when I need a place for my kiddos to spend some energy on a rainy day at like 8am, before other things opened. I was happy to buy a coffee and biscuit for myself and maybe a treat for them to pay for my occupancy.

    Now, though, and I know I wasn’t a giant source of income, they have lost my custom and I just can’t see how any real business would ever run a meeting in a McDonalds conference room, so it just seems like a dumb move.

    Maybe they want to discourage parents bringing their children? That also seems pretty stupid.

      Probably liability issues with kids getting the stupidest injuries and parents suing them for it.

      I blame the insurance industry and lack of public health care for this, not McDonald’s.
