Why did you resurrect a 2021 thread about seniors eating there to complain about the Filet-o-fish shrinking?

At least man up and make a new thread!

Warren Buffet eats his breakfast everyday there.
The answer might be most of those people started eating there everyday after they got old after retirement.

This. They usually don't eat much and are there mostly to socialize. When my mom and dad got into their 80s, they started getting fast food more so they didn't have to cook, and sometimes would split a meal and each have coffee. They never did this until they were in their 80s, so it wasn't cumulative.

My mother in law ate poorly her whole life and just died at 90. My Dad who was very careful about his food and a big exerciser died at 80. Its random.

The day my grandfather got told at Dana Farber that he had cancer, it was so advanced there was no saving him and he should go spend time with his family, we left and immediately went to Friendly's where he ordered a big ice cream sundae for lunch.

So yeah, I get why 80 yr olds on a fixed income are eating at a fast food place.

Breakfast is breakfast — eggs and bacon, pancakes, whatever else they are eating. It’s no different from eating at home in some regards.

The McDonald’s I worked at almost 30 years ago had a senior center nearby. Elderly people came in every day, but they weren’t ordering Double Quarter pounder meals with an extra large coke. For breakfast they would order a coffee and an English muffin. For lunch they’d order coffee and a side salad. If they came in for dinner it was something small - a hamburger/cheeseburger and a small fry.

They get senior priced coffee $.50 and they see their friends. The coffee is good.

1) McDonald's coffee is far from terrible.

2) at 80, its usually a problem of getting enough calories or not. Not enough time left to worry about chronic dietary problems.
