They cease being a customer the minute they finish their coffee or sandwich. After that they are LOITERING. One solution would be to remove all the tables an chairs and make it "take out" only or put in bartops that do not have seats so customers have to stand while consuming their food.
Does one continue to stand in line at a cashier's register after paying up? D'ya wonder why not?
Does one continue to stand outside of or sit in their car after gassing up? Why not?
What happens if you run off and leave your clothes in a laundromat dryer on a busy Sat morning? I have seen people remove and throw them into a corner so it can be used. That was college kids decades ago but it must be the same.
People grow wise as they age by learning from each and every incident, event and encounter they endure in life. One might thing an older person to possess some wisdom, especially those who come from a different land and made the transition from a s***hole country to the USA.
Wisdom flows off these folks as water off a duck's.
I remember back when I lived in suburban Chicago, the mall near my house allowed seniors to come in early so they could walk and get exercise before the stores opened. Some of the establishments even put out free coffee and donuts for them. It didn't take too long before the entitlement set in and the old people became demanding, one lady got mad when a janitor began mopping the floor near where her group was trying to walk and she told him to stop. They don't seem to understand that "courtesy" doesn't mean a free for all.
I can totally see McDonalds' position on this one.
I think the hours are a bit exaggerated, but they DO have a tendency to sit in McDonald's for hours on end. 3 or 4 hours for sure. They do it all the time at this local store.
That said, what are you gonna do? Not much that you can do.
Hire a doorman like nightclubs do. A Shaquille or Mr. T clone.

I used to volunteer for homeless shelter laundry duty, meaning I schlepped used bedding to a busy commercial laundramat. One quickly learns that if they are not immediately present to remove their laundry from a washer or dryer, patrons will do so and dump it on the floor. There is no mercy in most laundromats.

Yep, I am glad I only have to go down a flight to my basement. Those early years were tough and sometimes I would schlep 2 miles with a laundry bag. I made friends wih the guy who ran the place and he gave me deals like free dryers for the day or free dry cleaning. Who needs dry cleaning in college?
I once saw a woman's entire laundry strewn across the floor because she ran off and left it in a dryer. She lost it.
It was ruthless, I tell ya!

It's bad here, but not bad enough that you can't find a seat. Usually it's the whole morning. They fan out by lunch rush.
Hey...I only get the coffee...I can't eat their food anymore as it makes me deathly sick.
As for the Shaq clone, NOTHING scares Arizona senior citizens. And I mean NOTHING! These folks are the toughest old basterdz in America. If they want their McDonald's, they're getting it come hell or high water.

You're a lucky man if their food makes you sick! My body calls out to me when I hit about a 500 foot radius of a McD's.
Don't want old people around? Suddenly the fry cook over there slides his ipod into the sound system. DMX, Bone, 2Pac...the sounds of geriatric induced mass migration will be newsworthy.

I witnessed a bunch of " blue hairs" intimidate the heck out of a Wendy's shift manager, in Florida.
I would not want to run into that bunch in a dark alley.
