Toulouse,
France:
After a twenty year battle this town is to get its fourth
McDonald's Restaurant, but only it's first fully nude one.
Jean
Michele-Bourger, the manager of the franchise, said he can't
wait to get stripped at the service of his customers, who
demand nude service with a smile on both cheeks.
M-B
told us: "Now our customers will be able to see if our
servers behinds are as spotty as their faces. It's only a
niche market so far, but it is set to expand over the next
fifty years by up to 100%."
The
restaurant is nude in the sense that customers wear no clothing.
Everyone behind the counter wears no clothes too, apart from
the legally required protective clothing to stop things dropping
or poking into food or milk shakes.
"The
restaurant is on a nude beach, so obviously our main clientele
will be those already accustomed to seeing the naked physique.
We will have a 'shirts must NOT be worn' sign on the front
door to show we are different..
Nude
burger eating is not a new phenomenon.
Nudists
have been carefully eating without their clothes for centuries.
Especially in Hitler's Germany where the cult of the nude
body was believed to have spiritual powers, along with less
laundry at the end of holidays.
One
major sticking spot for new nudie consumers is getting used
to eating with other naked people, it can put you off.
M-B
again: "This is the problem: getting used to it. To help
we have designed height adjustable chairs which customers
adjust depending on how much of their eating partner they
want to see. It can be quite disconcerting watching an over
60 year old nudie eating for the first time, especially if
it is a Big Mac."
This
McDonald's also says it will take the nude angle a step further
and refuse to wrap up any of the meals, "apart from the
fries which are half nude already... We aim to help the environment
by cutting down on packaging," said a helper.
M-B:
"The menu is the standard menu, although we will not
be offering the super long hot dogs to start with to avoid
the inevitable picture in the papers."
