I should have realized you were merely "observing " rather than purchasing
an item.

Your comments to me seem a bit muddled, as if you are confused; so allow me to clarify:

I responded to this comment of yours:

@thousandwatts

I think it’s amusing that so many voice their "McD ‘s food is crap opinions,’ as preface to the “I was driving through the drive thru line at McD’s” etc.

Because the chosen phrasing was uncannily similar to my comment here:

@Melz2

Yes, the food at McD’s is crap, and yes; in the overall scheme of things, the kindness described in this story isn’t making a huge positive impact on the world in a way that really matters on more than a superficial level… BUT sometimes it’s important to have some affirmation that not everyone on the planet is a self-absorbed jerk with no consideration for anyone other than themselves.

In a world where we are constantly being bombarded with a proliferation of negative examples of just how shitty we can be as a species, it’s not only nice to be reminded that positive aspects of humanity still exist, it’s necessary in order to maintain one’s tenuous grip on some sanity.

I was acknowledging the other person’s opinion that the food at McD’s is not good, but then I went on to make my own point that the gesture is not meaningless simply because of the product involved.

Again, at no point did I ever state or imply that I was a patron of the establishment in question, or that I was personally involved in this story in any way.

Hopefully that clears up any remaining confusion for you.

Take care, now.
