- sych0, on 10/12/2007, -4/+53Perhaps, but ill die comfy watching a huge tv.
- OBDriftwood, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42McDonald's getting more classy? What's next? Paris Hilton getting less slutty?

- bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34From a business perspective, I would assume that it's probably cheaper to stock the places (I refuse to call them restaurants) with nice furniture and decor than it is to stock them with quality food.
Instead of making nicer food, make it SEEM like they might have nicer food, at less cost. MMMMMM... yummy, smells like *****! - bflfab, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Leather couches, are they insane? They will be ruined by spills in weeks.
- daveddd, on 10/12/2007, -5/+35How about putting better food on the menu. Has anyone tried the horrible coffe lately? Or, how about the quarter pounder?
- ryansw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18"Welcome to Digg, home of the most healthy bunch of folks in the world!". Everyone who comments here acts like they never would eat a gram of fat in their life. It's about self control!! The Taco at Taco Bell will kill you if you eat 20000 of them. Just like the Big Mac at McDonald's will, if you eat a crap load of it. I don't care if you like the place or not -- but comment on the story's topic.
- Toon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Look! We put a tuxedo on the retarded kid. Sure, he's still eating a handful of dirt, but, he's got a tuxedo on!
- tekmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Several years ago, when a new McDonalds opened here, they tried to make it like a sit-down restaurant. You would be seated at a table, order from a menu, and your food would be brought to you on a platter. It closed about six months later...
- userundefine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Speaking of Paris, 'MacDo' is already pretty classy at La Defense in Paris, France. Check it out...

Of course, so is everything else at La Defense. - FTLJohnson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Pfft, I'm sure they simply feed the couches burgers and grease and the souls of the least useful employees... and *poof* overnight the couches heal right back to looking like new.
- jcapogna, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16"McDonald's also donated $500 to Weymouth Elder Services."
Wow, McDonald's managed to scrape together $500 to donate to charity. Impressive. - andy101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Dugg for saying you take your girlfriend to Mickey Dee's before prom. Man, that must be romantic. "Hey babe.. I have a special surprise for you today... no, no... not combo 4... we'll make it combo FIVE!"
- slushpuppie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14 The McDonald's in my hometown of Asheville, NC:
Is situated in the historic Biltmore Village (Biltmore as in The Biltmore House), has marble floors, hardwood tables, a grand (player) piano, chandeliers, two fireplaces, and all of the employees wear collared shirts, vests, and ties.
(It's a very popular place for the locals kids to go to pre-Prom supper.)
All in all, I know it's silly. But I definitely don't mind going their as much as a "normal" McDonald's. I think It'd be great if they were all like that. - po43292, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13"why don't they take out the hydrogenated oil/trans fats, filler, and added sugars from their food?"
Because their food cost would go up and they couldn't afford the big leather couches and TVs! - CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Yeah, but it would be hilarious to watch incompetent fat-asses devour whatever excuse for food McDonald's has managed to con them into buying while thinking that they are classy.
- TheDrunkMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9They closed down the local McDonalds here until January to renovate it.
WHERE WILL DRUNK COLLEGE STUDENTS EAT AT 3 IN THE MORNING???
Damn you McDonalds, Damn you. - levyjl1988, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8America is of full of fat obese people... seriously they should have self control, and with these new implements they are going to get fatter and lazier... oh well... not my concern...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10why don't they take out the hydrogenated oil/trans fats, filler, and added sugars from their food? If they took just those out their food would be not nearly as bad for you, not to mention taste a lot better.
- arizonagroove, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"WHERE WILL DRUNK COLLEGE STUDENTS EAT AT 3 IN THE MORNING???"
Last time I was drunk at 3am on the north American continent I ate at Subway. - jurow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Or I guess just make you look like the Michelin Man:
http://www.brandchannel.com/images/FeaturesProfile/212_add_profile_michelin.gif - Hydraulix, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10McDonald's is the new Budweiser. They try to expand their audience but fat sweaty white trash ghetto America will always be there consuming their products.
- positron, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Class, as intelligent refinement and virtuous nobility, cannot be aquired by sitting on an Italian leather sofa. It is a matter of who you are, not what you possess. Yet again, Fugazi said it best: "You are not what you own."
- MrLunar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7All 5 restaurants in my area have already been renovated and is currently being advertised. Honestly, they are over a thousand times better then the plastic seating and Kiddy's Party Area type restaurants of the past.
McDonald's is trying to reposition itself to get people to just 'hang out and have a drink' rather than just a bite to eat and leave. And in my opinion, it works. In one of our restaurants there is a huge panoramic picture of our sea front, which I thought was ace when I first saw it. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Where is that McDonald's in NYC?
- FTLJohnson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6each other, it'll be a hullaballoo.
- zweben, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I don't understand why they would use the same brand for something that fancy.
That's like Kia making a $60,000 luxury sedan. Name it something else for god's sake. - ross., on 10/12/2007, -0/+5McDonalds Australia did this to every store in the country over the last 2 or 3 years.
- tempest, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Now the need to replace the cardboard in the burgers with meat and I can start eating there again.
P.S. I miss the McRib
http://dvdcowboy.blogspot.com/2006/10/please-bring-back-mcrib.html - fluffyturtle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4People are weird; most comments seem to be about the food killing you when that isn't what the story is about. Let me ask this, even if MC sold healthy food who would want to sit on a MC sofa? MC's is the dirtiest restaurant chain in the world, I don't even like sitting in their hard plastic/wood/whatever seats as it is.
I can't wait to sit down and feel the soda spilled three weeks ago but was never cleaned ooze out of the seat. - Lane5slacker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5At the end of the day they are still a McDonalds...
- spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4In other news: MMMMMMM...... yummy.
- Irimi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Maybe if they would stop using transfats and reduce the ammount of sodium they use to cook, I might actually eat there.
- BuddyDoQ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4They've got one like that in NYC as well, and it beat the Dallas one by some time. (Can't blame everything on us cowboys!) Seems to be the new trend in fast food dining. People are starting to realize the very adverse affects of eating this trash, and looking for healthier meals. But more than that, people enjoy going to classy looking restaurants. If for whatever reason I had to eat a McDonalds I'd much rather go to the fancy McDonalds than that trashy one off i35.
Either way I've been McDonalds free for years now, and I aim to keep it that way. I was also KFC free for a long time, but went to one in Tokyo, It was very different, so I'm not sure if that counts or not. o_0 - insinuate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I HATE our McDonald's that did that, it looks like a freaking coffee shop...but its still Mickey Ds people, still the horrible food that can kill you...but hey, now you'll think you're somewhere classy.
- Dustyb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@jurow
In other words, no madder how far a jackass travels it will never come back a stallion. - wedges, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3there's another one like that in Dallas somewhere, with marble floor and chandelliers and what not, not to mention plates instead of plastic trays. I went there while i was down in Texas for a wedding.
- DocDEB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Ronald who?
- DMoney16, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3One of my local McDonald's in Canada is already like that. They renovated a couple years back, now they have a row of TVs as well as classy booths, and on the walls instead of standard wallpaper, there are paintings of Da Vinci and his inventions and stuff. Its super nice and classy.
- kaffein, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Still wont make me go into or near one of their establishments.
Haven't done so since 2002. - PlaidPhantom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"WHERE WILL DRUNK COLLEGE STUDENTS EAT AT 3 IN THE MORNING???"
IHOP. - Darthmalt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thedrunkmonkey
there's always wendys, taco bell or the old favorite waffle house.
Arizona where? I've never seen a subway that stayed open past normal operating hours - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2People actually go to McDonald's before prom?
- thomasprebble, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7It's funny because in NZ they have nutritionists on TV trying to tell us their ***** is healthy! I agree with the first poster. The food WILL STILL kill you. Dosn't matter if there are healthy alternatives because nobody in their right mind would buy them.
- slushpuppie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@the people who had questions:
Yes, the Biltmore Village McDonald's is very popular as a before Prom supper option (especially since my high school had our Prom at the Biltmore House right up the road). You can always tell when it is Prom time because the McDonald's always has a bunch of guys in tuxedos and girls in fancy dresses coming in and out.
... and no, I did not take my Prom date to McDonald's, but I had several friends who went. - ManOfTomorrow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2All they need is chicken and they have copied the Roasty Toasty Lounge
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzNHEJyO0fE - Pharaoh777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2In Japan, McDonald's is already like Starbucks.
- fliped, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My mcdonald's in Canada already has leather seats and plasma screens, we even have a seperate McCafe section which is a subrestaurant in the restaurant.
