Since the Rio Olympics opened, calorie-seeking athletes have been gorging themselves on free food from McDonald’s, but there’s only so much gratis grub the Golden Arches is willing to give away.
Business Insider reports that McDonald’s has had to change its chaotic giveaway of free food to athletes and coaches at the Olympic Village, and is now restricting folks to only 20 items each.
But that popularity quickly turned into a bit of chaos for the restaurant, which has now implemented a 20-item limit for athletes and coaches seeing sustenance.
Customers can order more than 20 items, but if they do, the order will fall in priority, the Washington Post reports, estimating that the average line is about 50 people deep.
Athletes have posted photos of the seemingly endless lines on social media, as well as pictures capturing their coveted fare.
The sought-after nature of the Olympic Village McDonald’s occurred because the restaurant is the only fast food chain on the premises, and other food options are limited to a cafeteria.
