I don’t think an hour at McDonald’s is that crazy either though.

Lots of McDonalds locations have signs indicating lingering past 30 minutes is loitering.
I’m guessing back in the late sixties to early seventies going to McDonalds could have been a special night out and it could have been a place people stayed an hour. Some people may still linger in a McDonalds for an hour but I’d have think that’d be an exception. They’re loud, crowded and the seats are not entirely made for comfort. It’s not a place that strikes the imagination with, oh, there’s a place we can go eat and relax at.
They’re not that bad in Germany. The ramen places are actually more noisy.
