....a very annoying McDonald's hamburger/breakfast ad pop up right in the middle of posting or reading something? This is the only website I've had that happen. It appeared here twice just while I was typing this post. It completely whites out my screen and the ad pops up right in the center. It almost makes me not want to go to McDonalds to buy anything.

Download Brave browser (mobile/desktop). It blocks all that stuff by default.

The only ads I see are Strange Brew and Ely’s. Those don’t degrade the viewing experience.

I haven't today but have seen it before and it's pretty terrible. I have to refresh the page to make it go away.

I swore off McDs 3-4 years ago after they could never get my order right. I have been sorta craving it the last few weeks… maybe I’ve been seeing this ad and didn’t even realize it

Cold soggy fries, oversalted burger - yesterday's serving. You're not missing anything good.

It's been about 25 years for me, I wouldn't go in one if it was the last fast food joint standing. They only hire labor that has exhausted all other employment opportunities elsewhere and just let them do what they want. You can tell their vehicles in the parking lot because they all back them in for some reason

I'm seeing more and more people back in when there's zero reason to, and not just at McDonalds. Can't say I'm lovin' it.

At a minimum, we gotta develop some kind of signal (beyond the reverse lights) to let somebody behind them know they want to back in. If we're in a parking lot and you pull past an empty, I'm assuming that spot is up for grabs.
