Where there is something out of ordinary business should see it as an opportunity to change and grow. I know it's wishful thinking to expect something like that form McD, but it could easily be opportunity to give back something. Not everything in life is about making bucks.
I wonder. If one of these people that like to sit all day have a home.
If I sit in front of their house all day and say it's my right, what will their reaction be?

agreed. they'd ask you to leave because it's private residence and not a business for people that buy only 1 coffee or small french fries.
I do admit i go to a cafe and sit with a laptop for several hours. But these guys don't even speak English.

For people who apparently don't speak English, their quoted comments are remarkably English. Is this just code for "they're not even white", or is it "they're not even of European ancestry"?

extremely rude of them to sit at a McDonald's. Hypocrites. They would probably not like it if I went into their house and sat in it forever. Yet, they'll gladly go to a McDonald's and sit in it after buying a coffee.
i've seen people with desktops in manhattan starbuckses.
if these people go into a cafe as a group of three or something with a laptop, nobody would flinch. Once the group becomes 6 or 7 people or more, it becomes a bit too conspicuous.
