I just got back from McDonald's a little while ago. Girlfriend wanted to get a large coke for her headache. They didn't have large cups!
Well they do serve over 69 million customers daily. You cant expect them to always have large cups when they serve that many people.
I absolutely should be able to expect that. They can't cost more than a couple pennies to make, right?
Wrong, besides most of their money comes from rent, royalties, and fees paid by the franchisees. The food is not their only source of income.
Seven cents to make the cup itself, which is what I talked about. Their food may not be their only source of income, but it's definitely their highest profit margin area.
The founders Richard and Maurice McDonald are probably rolling in their grave. How dare you slander their restaurant?
Because I don't care about their restaurant, lol. They're a business that sells food. Nothing wrong with that. But it ain't a "restaurant."
Richard and Maurice McDonald
Richard James and Maurice James McDonald were American siblings who founded the McDonald's restaurant in San Bernardino, California, and inventors of the "Speedee Service System," now commonly known as "fast food".
Business careers.
In 1937, the McDonald brothers opened a hot dog stand in Monrovia, California, inspired by a local hot dog stand that seemed to be the only profitable business in town, and which primarily served patrons at a local racetrack. However, the stand had few
roles that probably they feel bigger than life and a little over-the-top. I mean, I do go for it a bit as an actor, I must admit."
Oscar and Tony Award-winning actor Al Pacino, when asked if he overacts, said: "Well, all actors do, in a way. You know what they say: in the theater you have to reach the balcony." Pacino suggested that directors serve to rein in screen performances that are too large.
