Homeless BS: McDonald's or Burger King (180* d) RE: BS: McDonald's or Burger King 04 Jun 06


Don Firth- if you want to learn about corporate procedures, read the book "The E-Myth Revisited." It basically says that if you want to have a successful business, you have to take ALL the decisions away from all the employees, and have EVERYTHING proceduralized and documented. That way you can hire the dumbest people to work for you. Ray Kroc, of McDonalds fame, pioneered the concept for the fast food industry. McDonalds has perfected it.

When I was a kid I was practically raised on McDonalds burgers. My dad had worked there as a teenager, and had some kind of weird loyalty to them. So as a kid, anytime we ate out it was always at McDonalds.
The last time I ate a sandwich there was over 25 years ago. I had just started high school and, with my parents having recently divorced, was starting to make decisions for myself. My girlfriend and I had gone inside to eat. I got a Quarter Pounder. Holding the sandwich in my left hand, in the time it took me to eat half of it, the grease (lard?) had run between my fingers, clear down to my elbow, and had congealed. I don't recall if I finished that burger or not, but it pretty much killed off my appetite for them, and I've not had one there since.
