Students of Kwansei Gakuin University in Nishinomiya, Hyogo prefecture, have been causing problems for a local McDonalds. They tend to occupy tables for hours at end, often doing revision ahead of exams. Some even appear to being food and drink in from outside. The manager contacted the university to ask them to remind students not to abuse local businesses. At first, the university posted a message that everyone was banned from McDonalds in the run-up to exams. The exasperated manager complained that the shop hadn't banned anyone and pointed out that other shops had similar problems. The University then removed the mention of McDonalds. One local coffee shop agrees that students can be a handful because they might order only one coffee but set up shop for hours. A nearby family restaurant has posted notices banning students from studying or holding meetings during peak business times. Since this spat, McDonalds PR department says that they have had no further problems.
