McDonalds kid friendly?

Just wanted to share this as it annoyed me so much...  we went to McDonalds in Lunel on Saturday - only the second time ever for Alicia 5yrs and perhaps my third time in 12 yrs!

On trying to find a high chair for Eloise, 18 months, I had to ask a cleaner - who asked for me for my ID (like I take my passport with me when I go to McDonalds??!!) as they only give highchairs in exchange for an ID card - when I said I didn't have an ID on me, they asked for my car keys (brand new and Euro14,000 worth of car... .)  I think not.

So generally they didn't trust me to not steal their highchair (worth what?  Euro20?) but I have to trust them with my car???

What gets me is this meant to be a family friendly place isn't it?  Where you can't borrow a high chair?

We won't be going back.

So sorry to hear that. The thing in France is that it is hard to find a child friendly place - I think macdonals workers are just "doing their job" and are not flexible. So, maybe picknik it is the next time ..lol
