Aside from the fact that it is like comfort food before or after an uncomfortable flight (US to Auckland), one can be assured of a bathroom with American standards which includes, usually, not only seat protectors, but a certain level of standardized cleanliness.</font>
Well, different strokes for different folks, I guess. McDonald's is to me a last resort because if I am going to have a burger that's really bad for my health, I want it to taste a hell of a lot better than a Big Mac!
But in any case, it wasn't so much the fact that this guy was looking for a McDonald's. That I could deal with. It's the fact that I was trying to catch some zzzs before my next flight down to Queenstown, and this guy comes over, wakes me up, and tells me since I'm American I have to hear this. Then he goes on to say in a total redneck hillbilly voice "can you believe there ain't no **** McDonald's here."
Put that all together, and it makes a little more sense.
I cut him off, and politely told him "I'm trying to get some sleep" with the best [expletive deleted] you smile I could put together.
