From the Guardian Unlimited in the UK, it appears that McDonald's restaurants are fining customers who stay in their parking lot too long.And it is no small fine either: £125 (about $255). Cameras in the parking lot take photos of license plates and a bill is sent to the car's owner.(The sign shown isn't an actual one. We made it at Ronald McHummer.)
"The question of just how long it should take to eat fast food is being answered by the burger giant McDonald's, which is making customers finish within 45 minutes or face a charge of £125."Motorists who care to linger over their McMeals for any longer at some drive-throughs are receiving demands from a private company that manages car parks for the burger chain."
And you thought that Big Mac Value meal was expensive

That's absolutely ridiculous!! I had to read the article myself to believe it! It doesn't even say why they started enforcing that law. Is parking limited in the UK? And so much so that they must charge outrageous ticket fines?? Very interesting article.
