The guy that wrote this article is a true idiot.
These are old Korean immigrants, members of the Silent generation, who gave us the 1960s, if you want to assign that to people who weren’t even in this country then.
“”Word ricocheted around the Korean enclaves of Queens, then onto the Internet, where it was picked up by Korean news media and sent in translation to the homeland.””
“”Whether the Koreans, many in their 70s and 80s, were right or wrong to spend their days at the restaurant, arriving as early as 5 a.m. and paying as little as $1.09 for a cup of coffee during their daylong stays, seemed not to matter much to the small but vocal group protesting against McDonald’s before an assortment of television cameras and photographers. “”
I don’t know about the guy that wrote this article, but I actually had real world experience running McDonald’s and I never thought of my Seniors as a problem! I valued them as resource, most of them were five to seven day regulars and bought two to three meals most days and I did not charge them for their friggin coffee. They were unofficial employees who always let me know what was going on in my stores, good or bad and saved the owner a lot of money by deterring vandalism by unruly youths.
