You're being too literal. :)

I would say that you are filling in too much that wasn't in the original text. :)

I think what she meant it, the theoretical "you" MEANT the note to clearly state "Meet me at McDonalds!"

And that would make sense to me. But since she said (and I quote) leave someone a note to meet you at McDonald's it boggled me that she would fault the author for the reader taking the explicitly spelled out name of the rival restaurant to mean Burger King. That seems to me to be taking the argument a wee bit to far.
