Most of these people comes in very late, after 22:00 or even later at 24:00. They watch some video on their phones for an hour or so before sitting there falling to sleep.

Since most of the overnight business are take away, so seats are rarely needed by customers.

In Income / Big Mac price model, McDonald in HK are one of the cheapest if not the cheapest in the world.

However they do kick you out if you smells bad, i.e causing disturbance to other customers.

I wish I could do something to help Hong Kong, but like most people here, we felt pretty much powerless.
