Wonder if this will be coming in Canada too?

Bout McTime!

They’d also do well to have outdoor seating where the teenagers can smoke instead of at the entrances on in the parking lot.

Yeah, that’s good. enabling teenagers to break the law. that would be smart. At least in my state, you have to be 18 or older to purchase tobacco. And I know somebody who’s got more than one arrest for it at 16 already. I don’t think McDonald’s wants to open that can of worms and have to have monitoring. And yeah, 18 an 19 are still in the teens, but is it really worth the company’s time to have to monitor it if they do provide such a space? Our ATF agency would be all over that.

Not in Canada anytime soon

Tobacco? Breaking the law? Where did that come from.
Not kidding or being snarky, I really don’t know how you made the connection between WiFi and underage smoking..

Gee thanks Tiger. I suppose you’re gonna tell everyone how Santa Claus isn’t real and that the original Ronald McDonald was actually Willard Scott in a clown costume.

I’m surprised more fast food places aren’t doing this. It can only bring them more business. I just wish it went into effect before the 12+ hour drive I have to do at the end of December.

If MacD’s is smart, it will ban smoking anywhere on its property.

I’m fairly sure we have “free” internet access at YuckyDonalds here in Australia.

ps: Best wishes to all for the festive season…

I discovered they had AT&T Wi-Fi by accident when I turned on my iPod touch and it found the network. No sign letting customers know it’s even there.
McD’s just doesn’t say “hang-out” to me. It’s usually full of screaming kids and loud teenagers. Other than to quickly check my email, I won’t be hanging-out there. 
But if people are willing to hang out there then it should be good for business.
Starbucks also has AT&T Wi-Fi so I’ve never paid for Wi-Fi.

Had this in the UK for a couple of years now, I took it for granted that the US had it for free too.
