The world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, has found where he can get his Chicken McNugget fix in Rio, and apparently he is not alone. The McDonald’s in the Olympic Village in Rio de Janeiro has been selling plenty of food to its international visitors, but in order to keep customers happy, it has had to start restricting how much food customers may order.
According to a report from CBC, the McDonald’s in the Olympic village in Rio has had to limit customers to no more than 20 food items per order. I know what you are thinking. 20 is a heck of a lot of food from McDonald’s, especially for one person. I hear you, believe me. I could never order more than one extra value meal and maybe a milkshake or McFlurry. These people in Rio are ordering enough food to feed a family of seven. Just take a look at the order recently made by Australian badminton player Sawan Serasinghe after a loss. Maybe he was trying to eat to deal with the disappointment?
Olympians from around the country are taking advantage of the McDonald’s menu. The Chinese men’s basketball team orders a round of Big Macs for breakfast (what, no McGriddles?). Bolt, who admits to dabbling in some junk food from time to time, did get some nuggets in Rio too (although this evidence came before the start of Bolt’s competition schedule).

Because the McDonald’s has been so popular for athletes and fans, the restaurant has had to deal with growing lines going bonkers. The only thing to do was to put a limit in place for how much could be ordered, as a way to help move the lines a little more efficiently, or as efficiently as possible given the circumstances.
