Woke up at 7. No power. Opened my garage door manually and drove to McDonald’s for coffee. 12 cars in line at the drive thru, and 10 people in line inside. You can only sit at a few tables outside, and one was occupied by a guy smoking a cigar, so, he owns the seating area.

1. The power company should be more reliable.
2. McDonalds should open the inside seating area.
3. Cigar smoking should be banned in all dining areas.

Everything is fine now. The power is back on.

I would of just rolled over and went back to sleep 💤. By time come out of dreamland everything back to normal.

Never lost power, not even durning the hurricane issues, did Seco website give you info on power outage.

Could care less if McDonalds is open inside or out, but that’s a personal choice.

I don’t smoke cigars, but I do love the smell of an expensive cigar, which I doubt was the case.

So bad morning for you, hopefully if you awake tomorrow, things will be an improvement

What an inconvenience having to wait in the service line, inside or outside drive up.

I didn't buy it. The line was too long, and there was no place to sit.

The McD in Lady Lake (441) is open inside from 7 am to 2 pm only. They don't have enough workers to staff the place later in the day (like almost every other business in the country). I was just in PA, OH, and WV. Same thing everywhere. Saw a Burger King offering a $1500 sign on bonus for a manager and a Taco Bell offering $1000 for crew positions.

Not SECO, Leesburg Electric. I didn't look at the website.

No Coffee?!?!?!?!? Glad you survived to tell the story.

[Aloha1]

Yeah, good 'ol Leesburg electric. Power goes off at least 3 times a week. They claim it's "fried squirrel" but at 3 AM?? Power out in Pine Ridge about 7 this AM and back on around 10AM.

First world retiree problem. Unretire and get back on the work wheel. You'll still be working Saturdays and out of the house before the crowd gets to McDonalds.

Wow a guy mentions loss of power and than his experience at McDonalds and gets criticized for it.

Tough audience

I could be wrong, but I don't think he was whining. I think he was just reporting. We can take it from there.
