Homeless in McDonalds

+


So I've now spent a lot of time in McD's SS14. We stayed there like homeless people studying all night, it being 24 hours and all.

Besides us, there are 3 resident hobos in McD's SS14. YES, it doubles as a homeless shelter in the night. Kudos to Maccers for allowing homeless people to live in their restaurant.

The resident of the highest floor is a fat man whom we have dubbed smelly cat due to the fact that he frequently takes of his socks and hangs it on one of the chairs, thus allowing the whole third floor to smell like sour, unclean socks that have not been washed for 6 months. He dons a yellow shirt that says Hou How Fook Restaurant on the back. If you know where this restaurant is please tell me. We believe he's an out-of-towner.

The second floor is occupied by two different homeless people. The loudest and weirdest one being a chubby Indian lady who dresses like she just came back from a jog. She switches table every time someone sits close by and pretends to talk on the phone. She has a real phone. We caught a bit of her conversation that involved calling someone, Vishnu, to come kick us out of her club. We were referred to as the dirty devils that sleep in McDonald's. Yeah. I swear. Then she babbled on and on about something to do with how we needed special passes. Like VIP's i'm assuming. Her name is now Vishnu.

The third guy is just really sad. Unlike the previous two. He I pity every time I see him. Reclusive and quiet, he sits in a corner in the smoking section, at the same table and same chair each night, sleeping with his arms folded and his body hunched over, hanging his head inches away from the table. He has 2 cups of coke or coffee, I couldn't really tell, before he goes to sleep, as he sits in the air-conditioned area before moving out into the smoking area.
