Austria McDonald's will be embassy for tourists

[Artemis Windsong]

I hope other McDonald's in other foreign countries will do this.

"American citizens traveling in Austria who find themselves in distress and without a way to contact the U.S. Embassy can enter – as of Wednesday, May 15, 2019 – any McDonald's in Austria, and staff will assist them in making contact with the U.S. Embassy for consular services," the announcement read.



Consular services include reporting a lost or stolen passport or seeking travel assistance."

I think it sounds like a great idea!   No doubt I could find McD's easier than the US Embassy. Although it's likely a person would still need to go to the embassy (to get a passport etc).
