McDonalds, who cares?
I was on a flight from ATL to Argentina on Delta.
My Delta One upgrade did not come through and obviously they did not know who I am.
I knew I would have to suffer the discomfort of Delta Economy Comfort, and the marginal meal service on a twelve hour flight. At Atlanta Hartsfield International Terminal there is a Varsity hamburger stand. I brought two Varsity chili burgers and onion rings as my take-out meal onto the Delta 777. Consumed them in an orderly fashion on board the plane. Only snobbery encountered was from the male Delta FA. Seat belt sign was on and I handed the boxed residue to the gaucho looking dude. His reaction looked like I handed him human waste. Would I have taken my Varsity burgers into Delta One...Probably! Paying a lot of $$$ for the seat and I will eat what I please.

There was a family friend who used to bring a can of caviar onto the plane into first class. He would give the bottle to the stewardess and ask if she could serve it with his dinner.
When he was often asked by jealous seat mates who hadn't witnessed the initial encounter, why he received this and he hadn't and would reply that he was a special level of traveller.

Let me answer your first question: Yes, you are being snooty. SNOOTY! Let me tell you, I would rather sit in the seat adjacent to the McD's "offender than sit next to you. You might complain that the laces of my sneakers aren't properly tied or that I don't have the proper grasp of my champagne flute.

Funny how McDonald's in France calls them "Chicken McNuggets", but not in Quebec. Non!
However, not to be outdone, McDonald's French site will NOT reveal its secret content unless I try to access it within France. I get a white background with their logo only and the message: "Le contenu de cette page n’est pas disponible depuis votre position gographique."
