The Most Cliche People in the World

A new McDonald's opened today about 10 minutes away from our house.   Now this is not so amazing since we have another one 10 minutes away in another direction and have probably five within 30 minutes or so.  BTW, we've eaten at them all ;-)

Well, for some reason we have been pretty excited about this one and have been checking the "Opening in __ Days" sign with a great deal of excitement.  

So in typical Glasgow fashion, we went to the new restaurant on its first day, joining a huge crowd at lunchtime.  I once told an Asian that seeing Americans in McDonald's is like having the chance to observe a wild animal in its natural habitat.

One of the guys on the opening team asked how we found things and I said, "Just like America."  Not sure if he thought that was a compliment or not, though!!

I never go on an opening day, or even the first month! It's always too crowded. Glad you are making the effort, though!
