McDonald's is building an epic restaurant with all-you-can-eat fries
Strap on the feedbag and head to McDonald's !
---
McDonald's is opening a restaurant in America that's unlike any other McDonald's in the world.
The new 6500-square-foot location in Missouri will offer all-you-can-eat french fries, customisable desserts, sandwiches, and burgers, as well as table service, The St. Joseph News-Press reports.
It will have several digital kiosks for customers to order their food — which McDonald's is now adding to restaurants across the country — a "party room" for rent, and modern-looking couches and arm chairs for hanging out.
The restaurant will also try to appeal to young mums by hosting events for mothers and kids during the day, such as play groups and children's book readings, according to its Facebook page.

I'm not a big Maccas fan but they had this big advertising blitz saying breakfast all day. Driving somewhere where nothing was open I ordered an English muffin from the breakfast menu. They couldn't do it. They couldn't toast a muffin. They said I could only have hotcakes. So much for breakfast all day!!
Maccas is really now trying to appeal for adults rather than kids.

All-you-can-eat junk food? What a winning concept!

Places like Red Robin and Applebee's offer AYCE fries with burgers, so I'm guessing McDonald's thought they'd try it too. Unfortunately, I don't think they realized that most people going to McDonald's don't want to linger after eating their burger to eat more fries.
I think Red Robin and Applebee's offer it as a way to increase the amount of alcohol they sell, because if you run out of beer, but still have fries, you'll likely order another drink.

Have you seen the fat people in this country, it looks like quite a bit
on that note, McD's clean up the stores that you have
its bad enough going in these dumps as it is; get rid of the laborers hanging outside in the parking lot, clean up the place, spruce up the places you have, because the ones that I go into are pig sty's littered with laborers loitering all over the place
cough *Herndon* cough

I guess too, if something is free, folks will gorge even after they feel sick.

There's an opportunity for cross-promotion here. While gorging on AYCE fries and whatever else, patrons can listen to a loop of Wilford Brimley 'splainin 'bout the diabeetus and tellin' folks how they can check their blood sugar and check it often.

Oh for my reply to the OP...while I LOVE mcdonalds fries (best in the business IMO) and would love to eat an unlimited amount I can imagine eating more than a medium.
*and even a medium is turning into a rare treat for us
