If you are looking for a warm welcome to accompany your hot cup of coffee, walk inside your neighborhood McDonald's restaurant. While I was at a McDonald's Tuesday morning, I observed people sharing news about current events, retelling past stories and giving friendly advice. I asked an older man named Rob why he came to McDonald's. Rob said, "It is a friendly atmosphere because we have the whole neighborhood here."
A woman who identified herself as a school bus driver told me the employees at McDonald's make her feel comfortable and welcome. "During the school year, I come here every day," she said.

I like the fact that you wrote about McDonalds as a coffee shop. I guess that I would never have thought of that, but it is true. To me, McDonalds seems too inpersonal and too much of a rush; however, I guess there are regulars who began to know eachother and connect.
