McDonalds Owner Follows Up

Jerry Flagg, owner of this McDonalds, called me yesterday.
He apologized (like that's worth anything) & said there is not currently such a sign (No Food Allowed in Structure). He said that because McDs is a franchise, that for him to put up such a sign, would require permission from a corporate person. And that he would "look into it."

I brought up the point that with there being so many allergies right now, it's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

And while I don't plan to sue (gee, if I wanted to, I could have sued Archway Foods last summer for mislabeling their cookies & Flynn nearly dying), not everyone shares my beliefs, and many people are just waiting for the chance.

I agree that I could just ask a parent (allowing their child to go into the structure with deathfood) to please oblige, it would be much easier with such a rule, that I could refer to as a reinforcement. (imagine me asking said parent to not let their ranch-dressing-dripping child carry his dressing-dripping nugget into the tunnel...then imagine me pointing to said sign).
And I told Jerry this.

He again apologized, said he doesn't want me to discontinue our playdates at the playplace (bet you don't Jer, we drop $10 everytime we come, along w/ whomever we meet there!).

For whatever that's worth!!!!!!

That is gross to know that there could be or is food in the play area. And it seems like parents would consider dangerous to allow a child to run about eating while playing. Isn't that a choking hazard ?

My children don't have food allergies but I know how severe they are for some of the kids that do have them.
It really bothers me that other people fail to realize how serious this is and how much the numbers are growing. Since Jerry doesn't get it hopefully someone at the corporate office will get it and do something about it immediately.
