I've never been kicked out of a McDonald's for staying more than 20 minutes. The rule was likely created because large quantities of low- or non-paying people were inhabiting the space for long amounts of time, driving paying customers elsewhere. I don't blame the owners of this McDonald's for instituting a time limit, and I suspect that even if this happened in another country the business owner would likely do the same. I'm also sure McDonald's would welcome another entrant to "disrupt" the space and get them out of their establishment.
