    You could keep a drive through going with 6 or 7 staff all not interacting closely with each other tbh.

    True. Was only presuming that was the main reason

    Takeaways are booming. Finally caved in Friday night and ordered my first chipper of the catastrophe, took quite a bit longer than normal.

    Pity to scrap the drive through Mickey Ds TBH.

    My 2 local chippers are closed for 8 weeks as of last Friday! Dying for some junk food!

    My copilot has one everyday. Most branches in Dublin went drive tru only last week. I thought this was safe enough for staff. I'm surprised at the announcement. I'm not sure what my copilot will do after tomorrow

    Most are on zero hour contracts, I'd say a week or 2 at most and then dole.

    Zero hours In McDonald’s Ireland?

    I thought 12 hours was the minimum hours you could get.

    Seeing how they famously offer people zero hour contracts I cant see them paying.

    Im thinking the b@stards are sending them to the dole but hopefully I'm wrong, if that's the case they should be boycotted, when this Chi-na virus calms down.

    I sympathise with the staff but why should they be paid if laid off.

    Remember McD is a franchise operation so local owners would have to pay the staff and not the massive head office.

    Will you be boycotting pubs, restaurants and shops that have also let staff go? People seem to understand that.

    These myths get thrown around but zero hour contracts were banned in 2018.

    Even though they're franchises they make a lot of money and have the McDonald name over their stores, I have huge sympathy for small businesses who have no other choice but send employees to the sign on, big businesses will and should be boycotted if they don't pay their employees for a few weeks at least.

    Drove through city centre tonight, only place I saw open was the Spar and Supermacs on O'Connell St and the Spar and Centra on Dame St.

    Lots of places had groups of delivery cyclists hanging around outside though so plenty not open but seemingly doing deliveries.

    Doesn't matter.
    Point is they were the same company who did that. Can't expect them to pay people now.

    And the Guards have had to clear all of the f*cking morons queueing for McDonalds in Maynooth and elsewhere. Have people completely lost a grip of sense and reality???

    Maybe the next virus could just attack the f*cking stupid?? Leave the world in a far better place after it...

    Passed through the drive thru McDonald's in blanch centre earlier. Long que out the door and loads of cars.

    Gas isn't it? I guess if you tell someone you can't have anything for the next while it creates this mad need.

    What's wrong with getting a takeaway McDonald's from your car? Hardly any different from ordering a curry is it?

    How did people manage to eat years ago when there was no Deli's or Chinese take-away's etc.What's wrong with cooking proper food at home knowing whats in at considerable less cost.

    Because the mouth breathers who are so DESPERATE for a takeaway will still not keep their distance when out. Have a look at the video for Beshoffs in Howth yesterday.

    There's nothing wrong with it but some people simply don't like it and they don't care about the cost impact of it.

    McDonald should be boycotted, they sacked every single employee, revenue of 5.9b December 2019.

    B@stards.

    People are complaining about McDonald's today.
    They were safe and sound in their cars...


    The people at Beshofs cis a whole other conversation and I agree with you on that situation.

    Take a look at these clowns queuing up in their cars to get a F***ing Big Mac. https://imgur.com/a/kQnbTs4

    What type of wet brain thinks it’s a good idea to leave the house during a time like this to get a McFlurry. A friend of mine works in a different McDonalds and they had to finish normal service at 3pm to work on the orders from the drive thru.

    There really is a dumbing down of society. Learn to book an egg ffs. Not to mention that I don’t want anyone handling or sneezing on my food at the moment. Everything I eat now is done in house.
