I don't often drink coffee when I'm out but I prefer McDonalds coffee to Starbucks or Costa, especially Costa, which I find soulless and lacking any character.
Young people seem to love hanging out in the expensive coffee shops so there's nothing wrong with older people doing the same in McDonalds.

@unsociableAnthony Once in a while (once a year perhaps) I do stop at a McDonald's to use their Wi-Fi when I'm travelling through Northern Europe on my way from Norway to the UK. The coffee is usually bearable and that's pretty much all I have. Another reason for stopping there is the multilingual ordering screens which saves me the bother of trying to use my rudimentary French or German to order and risking getting something I didn't want when all I really want is the Wi-Fi.
But usually I time my journey so that I can either stop at IKEA or find some local cafe that will be worth putting a little effort into communication. I recommend Herby's Coffee Bar in Koblenz.

Not McDonalds, but I go and sit in the local Waitrose Cafe a couple of times a week, usually in conjunction with a food shop. Coffee and a Danish pastry, something like that, and I notice that there are a lot of old codgers like me in there.
I did it on a weekday morning when I first retired because I could. It's become a nice little routine.

No... but I like to shop as soon as the discount grocery store opens (7 a.m. sharp) most Sundays with all the other geezers (there's usually 3 or 4 of us). Then on the way home I'll head to a Tim Horton's drive-thru for a large double cream coffee and 6 jelly-filled donuts.

@rinkydinkydoink Donuts sound fantastic.

@rinkydinkydoink That's what I tell myself with bbq chips. Just have a few and then the bag is demolished.

No, I have become the old person who walks around Walmart to get my miles in. There are many of us, especially in the winter, because we have no shopping malls here.😄

@Ghostinthemachine I think every McDonalds has that club. I'm not sure if I'm quite old enough to fully join in.
@deepblacknothingness I would be the youngest in the group lol

yeah but I don't like the atmosphere there. it was much better as a kid with mayor mccheese and the mcplay area.
I am what I consider to be old but I avoid mcdonalds and have no idea how it is still in business

@unsociableAnthony I'm not knocking your opinion : you are entitled to think what you want.Im just curious about what SPECIFICALLY makes it low class ,compared to the other places around .
@DavidT8899 I think because it has had a reputation of being a low effort dinner since as long as I ever remember. It's a meme to tell people you are going to eat at mcdonalds. It means cheap low quality food for so long.
Wendys and Burger King is kind of the same but McDonalds is the OG ghetto fast food place.

@unsociableAnthony Do you know what I think would be a good idea : a HIGH END burger joint .It would undoubtedly be more expensive ,but ......
No thankfully
