Brisbane, but I also speak for my experiences in Melbourne and Sydney in the last ~year, as well as smaller cities such as the Gold Coast, Mackay, Rockhampton, Albury and several others more recently than that (when I travel for work). I cannot remember ever having a McD's employee bring me my meal when seated. For as long as I can remember (nearing a decade) it has been pick-up-over-counter, with the more recent addition of having a number on your receipt with a screen showing when your order is ready. My local one has the Create Your Taste but I've not yet been to it. That only appeared in the last 1-2 months for me (Annerley). The fact that they're doing create your own was impressive enough to me but if they're now serving it to you at a table then that's pretty incredible. They've spent so much time nailing down their service times that I would have thought the staffing limitaions on running food out would be too high. I have to hand it to them for their efficiency. edit: I've not yet been to one with the Create Your Taste thing, by the way. If the service at table is limited to those, then that explains it. But equally, I've only seen that at a couple of outlets too so I wouldn't exactly call it widespread here.
