Michael,

I could understand that they would want to search your bag, perhaps,  
but you should have every right to carry a backpack into a  
McDonald's.  Heck, do they allow women to bring in their purses?   
Some women's handbags are probably bigger than your backpack!  What  
did they think, you were going to steal all of the ketchup packets  
and napkins???  I would definitely be writing to the manager and  
corporate as well.
