[QUOTE]Originally posted by MeGotBeer: [QB] JeffR, [QUOTE]1) Each one is a franchise, so the company doesn't own ALL the restaurants. They're usually owned and operated by small-time people.[/QUOTE] Hah! Small-time people usually can't afford the franchise fee for a McDonald's resteraunt. Tack onto that the yearly fee to be allowed to use the McDonald's name, and it is NOT cheap to own or operate a McDonald's franchise. Of course, maybe you meant people that live in the community ... and on that you would be correct. I went to high-school with a guy whose parents owned two McDonald's in the Columbia, Md area. They had a nice big house, but first they had to scrape the $$$ together to buy their first McD's, then wait until it started to turn a profit, then buy another ... and it was a very long process for them. [i]However[/i], just because a McD is a franchise doesn't neccessarily mean that the corporate isn't responsible. Franchise stores get their products -- food, napkins, etc. -- from a central commissary, owned by, guess who? McD Corporate. While the maggots are probably a direct result of unsanitary conditions within one particular resteraunt, meat patties with "half a rat's head", or a batch of chicken nuggets with a "chicken's head" are the fault of the commissary. [QUOTE]I don't think McDonalds has an overall plan to make everyone eat maggot burgers and rats heads. These things just really suck for a company.[/QUOTE] That's just common sense right there.
