I know other McDonalds stores in the area that actually encourage Seniors to hang around sipping their discounted coffee. Guess it depends on their location and how much space they have available.
My local McDonalds has a similar problem. The local Senior have a bit of a club there...sit for hours, rotating cast of comers and leavers, scoop up all the newspapers in the place and dont lend them out except to their own people. A very selfish, cliquish, inward looking only group. Unchristian.
Today people are obsessed with their rights to the detriment of etiquette, common sense or courtesy.

I seriously doubt any business would want their entire seating area filled with nonpaying customers from daylight to dark.
There are always about a dozen older men in the McDonalds near my house, but there is also at least 3-4 times the seating in that place as in this one. Doesn’t seem to be an issue.
