Oh Darling.............NO ONE has confirmed ransomware.
Cyber Attack, yes.
Ransomware No.

Significantly different.

The false reporting of ransomware was sensationalism.

Is TOTV a venting place? Grumpy people. McDonald's owes you nothing simply because you lost power.

McDonalds isn’t the only fast food. Just drive to another McDonalds or another fast food restaurant.

Maybe you should think about getting a whole house, automatic starting, electric generator installed at your house. If you had that generator installed already, you’d be at home, and your electricity would still be on.

I’m still waiting for our whole house, natural gas, automatic starting electric generator to be installed. We ordered the generator in January, and have to wait until July for the installation. Hopefully, there won’t be a power outage before the whole house electric generator is installed!

If the owners of this McDonald wants to stay in business and make money they need to give better service.

Waking up is always a good thing in TV! That should be a good start to your day.

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’m sure McDonald’s wants to stay in business, the problem is the overly generous unemployment benefits make it too easy for workers to stay home.

Agree…no cigar smoking in public eating area. Very inconsiderate.

Keep reporting where the cigar smokers are, so I can avoid them.

A house on a nearby street has a generator that faces the street. When the power goes out at 7 AM, it probably wakes up half of the people on the street. You can hear it from about six houses away. I wouldn't want to live in a neighborhood with small lots where every house had one of those.
