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.
McDonald's
McDonald's Corporation is an American fast food company, founded in 1940 as a restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald, in San Bernardino, California, United States. They rechristened their business as a hamburger stand, and later turned the company into a franchise, with the Golden Arches logo being introduced in 1953 at a location in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1955, Ray Kroc, a businessman, joined the company as a franchise agent and proceeded to purchase the chain from the McDonald brothers. McDonald's had
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.
