McDonalds Ludmilla - Hamburger Joint Or Road and Car Wash?

What a stupid franchisee! What a bad example to the rest of the community! What a waste!

Very obviously the franchisee could not give a rat’s. Maybe the franchisor might though.

It is the wet season and two nights ago around 30 -50mm of rain fell in Darwin, enough for at least 5 or 6 days to keep the garden and lawns growing.

Not only that, but both November and December have been quite wet with plenty of regular rain. It is over two months since most people needed to use irrigation at home, except for maybe the odd pot plant.

Yes, good old McDonald’s on Bagot Road / Pfitzer Drive corner at Ludmilla where thousands of cars move past both day and night, is still watering the lawn. Not only that, they are watering every evening, and also watering most of the road on both Pfitzer Drive and some onto Bagot road. It is so bad on Pfitzer Drive that the road is showing signs of damage from the water. Your car is watered as you enter the carpark.

There is a simple switch –called a rain off switch, that holds the settings, but stop the irrigation system operating. This is a switch one uses to turn the system off......when it rains. Very easy, very simple. Should have been activated about two month’s ago.

I am sure they can afford the water bill, but why use it?

What a shame they are so silly that they cannot turn it off when it is not needed.

Hi Peter:

I was going through this blog and also your abovecapricorn blog. They are nicely done. I could not figure out a way to contact you, so if you are reading comments, may I I respectfully ask if you might be willing to contact me at greenworldbvi@hushmail.com? Just had a question I wanted to run by you. Sorry to ask in a public post, but I didn't see an email address. Thank you, Josh
