In the UK all McDonalds are franchises which means that the individual manager has some sway in how their outlet is run, provided that they keep up the brand name standard. If you felt that this particular place served weak watery chocolate, I would drop a short line to the manager, alerting them to it. They may have a new employee learning the ropes, as most of the summer vacation students are back at College or Uni. It's not that tightly run a ship in my neck of the woods. Even the buildings' architecture is in several different styles. I think the franchise holder has to foot the bill on new designs, so most of them just paint it and that's it. On the other hand, I actually don't like the modern look of the new MCD's. They don't have the iconic Golden Arch look anymore. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

McDonalds UK has Vice Presidents instead of Directors, but not surprising as it is an American Company. We in the UK still view them as an American fast food hamburger joint that competes with KFC and Burger King. McD UK One other tidbit~ The fast food workers in the U.S. are trying to unionize and create a $15 minimum wage. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Good luck to them. Of course there should be a minimum wage in law, I have always agreed with that. But in actual practice even that is too low, what is really needed is a "living wage" but many employers would go out of business if they were forced to pay that. Never going to be an easy answer for either side. The story I read said $22 an hour is a basic living wage for one person in NYC. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Well Walmart brings in big money but pays nothing in wages, the cut the hours to 30 so they don't have to pay some benifits. One of the biggest companies in the US and pulling something like that. Cheers everybody Life is short so don't sip Beer speaks, people mumble |

It is very common here, and if Canadians can't afford to work for a firm they get workers from third world countries to do it. Our government is trying to fix this to huge opposition from big companies. |
