@PineTreeTree mcdonald´s is a perfect place for me due to my allergies and ED 😂 To me, any fancy restaurant is a no 😂
But yep i can see it. A table so small it barely fits two trays. A candle being crammed in the middle, in an as stable holder as possible, yet there is a special staff member dutyfully standing around with a fire extinguisher, just in case. Above you, there are some plastic cups and fry cartons diy-ed into a romantic garlands, each hiding a tiny led light in it, to fully enhance the atmosphere. There is not much lights except the garlands and candles, and some smaller lights on the wall. They claim it is for the mood, but you know damn well they are just cheeping out on the energy bills (and making it harder to see your food is barely holding together). Next to you, another couple is enjoying their Mc Flurry, talking about their dog´s digestive issues. They are so close it is almost a double date, despite never meeting them. At the corner table, a screaming kid is demanding extra ketchup, when his tired parents just hoped to have some family time but their babysitter canceled last minute so now here they are. Every day from 10 to 19, a special performance is taking place, the local speciality. The old busking artist with his violin just took his place on the street corner, and is playing his melodies. Of course they don´t have the radio on during this time, the live music is always better. Suddenly, the fire extinguisher employee moves. A kid on the other side of the restaurant tried to burn the salad leaf from their burger over the candle. Life is good.
