Candle-lit quarter pounders for two? Would sir like wine with that? However, taking another look at the wiki for fast food, I see it covers sit down as well as takeaway only. Which surprised me (never having had to map a McD). For me there is a very, very big distinction between a takeaway-only place and somewhere you can sit down to eat. Counter-only service is not a biggie. Speed of the food is somewhat important but speed is a continuous variable, even at a single establishment: I can go to a chip shop and, if there's no queue, have my order filled in under a minute; or I can go in and they've run out of chips and I have to wait 10 minutes while they fry more. Whether or not I can sit down out of the rain matters far more to me. But we have what we have: a tag that seems specially crafted for McD, whether it has seating or not, as opposed to a tag for somewhere with no seats at all. -- Paul
