LAME LAME LAME….LAME.  First of all, last time I checked McDonald’s is an American franchise, no?  Since when did they start getting there style and decor from across the pond.  Yikes…Look out.  Secondly, what companies are having meetings here?  Please remind me to not send my resume whoever is on the list or seen conducting business appointments here.  Thank You- BB
