Always a popular theme.
Personally, I DO NOT want to hang out at MacDonalds. I WANT a color scheme designed to subliminally stimulate movement and uneasiness, and I want the hard plastic booths to be angled in such a way that they restrict blood flow in my legs... because that is what MacD's is, fast food.
Uh, how is this "PC" again?
There is an old adage in retail...Grow or Die.
They OBVIOUSLY think this will help them GROW.
Always a popular theme.
Makeovers ain't gonna help.
Fast food in nice sometimes, but I DON'T LIKE McDonalds food. The only thing that brings me in there is the playplace for my daughters ages 6 and 4. Otherwise, if I want a "fast" burger, I prefer Wendys, Burger King, or almost anything EXCEPT McDonalds.
You can put a hat on a pig, but all you'll get is a pig wearing a hat.
Sitting in a comfy chair eating garbage isn't my idea of enjoyable dining.
I had a cup of McDonalds coffee twenty years ago and I still can't get the taste of it out of my mouth.
You can't polish a turd.
For some reason the thought came in my mind that they might have a few too many homersexuals in mgt. Just being honest.
Cosmetic changes only. That'll really draw the crowds. What about a good hot dog? Onion rings?
Nossir, that's the heart attack from the clogged arteries that the food caused.
Those comfy armchairs are gonna look like crap.. a few milliseconds after the legions of 4-year-olds start climbing on them.
Our closest McDonald's had this makeover last year. Visited for the first time a couple months ago. The difference is amazing. The place is spotless. The ambience is more like that of an upscale restaurant. The food was as consistent as ever (for better or for worse). It was, except for the food, difficult to tell I was in one of their restaurants. Even a fireplace and wide screen TV. Let's see how that theme works out in Harlem.
I'm lovin' it.
Yo dawg.
I've been going to Burger King ever since McDonald's decided to "pimp" my burger.
Taco Bell will ultimately win the franchise war. All restaruants will be Taco Bell.
Schwarzenegger will be president.
Actually, I think McD's has done a pretty good job turning around the franchise. Remember, not that long ago they were in a pretty serious slump. I think they have really improved the menu for the better, adding stuff that you can half-way eat (grilled chicken, no mayo). I think they are pretty good at deciphering the market.
But will they still have the young hispanic behind the register who doesn't speak English and can not find 'El Grande Mac' on the menu?
Old Mc Donalds Joke...
Couple of McDonalds exec's talking about the latest survey on food chains..
1st Did you see the report? We came in last again on food quality and taste. We really have to do something.
2nd You are right, we have to get a new toy to give away..
Interesting. There is one that seems to fit that description in the city where I live. The whole building is blue with a stylized logo and advertized wi-fi access. Never been inside, though.
