It's not me, but I don't see what's wrong with the quite sensible question. There's nothing magically different about a McDonalds.

A friend's house in Massachusetts also has no gutters.

Or rather, from what I can gather, the house has rather large gutters at
ground level, filled with gravel.

AAMOI what are gutters for? To keep the water away from the foundations,
or off the walls when it's windy? And away from nearby people, obviously.

Best to have gutters at roof level then, to reduce the effect of the wind.

But if there are no gutters at roof level, they never get blocked with
leaves etc.

YUP. If you have the overhang then gutters at high level are not
required - and gutters at ground level area deal easier to clean

Walls can take a bit of water, its constant deluges from eg roof valleys
that need to bee diverted away..

Most McDonalds have a flat roof with some air-con plant on the top. The
pitched roof is a cosmetic trim to look "traditional".

very true but there is still a hell of a lot of witter comes off it ....good

Are you sure about this? I would imagine its only new builds that are this
way, so maybe they just happen to design it that way.

we used to give them building warrants with no gutters probably because the
main flat roof was drained.....but I drew the line at the unvented voids
they wanted under the suspended floors that were level with the ground.....

Lets dismantle the house entirely, then. That would mean zero
maintenance costs!

It ain't about maintenance costs, its about doing
what reduces the amount of maintenance required.

Only a fool doesnt do that.

I remember going on a customer service course years ago and the wumman was
going on and on about how good Macs were always asking if you wanted this
and that implying that this was all about customer service....I stood up and
said look behind the drive through order window and you will see a sign that
says SELL UP ...and walked out....

I don't have a problem with the concept of them trying to sell more. you
can decline. Occasionally they may tempt you. Customer service includes,
clean premises, clean toilets, staff trained to try to communicate, etc. I
thik they do a good job.

I like to see youths being trained to be polite to customers and to
communicate clearly. Regards the food - they seem to be well supervised -
the kitchens often on view - many checks and very busy. Staff learn to work
to procedures. I may not go in often - but I have no gripes - even though
it is fashionable to knock them (or Ryanair).
