Wow what? There's a reason McDonalds makes 25 billion dollars in revenue each year and your local mom and pop doesn't. If this surprises you, then your expectations are wrong.
>Why settle for known mediocrity when you have the chance to get something great?
At a mom and pop? With some random nameless cook?
- lawik 9y agoMy estimate is that most people will pick up a fast and cheap burger because it is good enough and convenient every now and then and most people I know will try something new every now and then. And people are balanced differently on if they prefer convenient and familiar or new and interesting. I think McDonalds have a lot of scale-factors in their success and revenue that aren't applicable to shops that are not gloval franchises. Don't believe that its because they're generally considered fantastic.
- Retra 9y agoI'm not arguing that they are fantastic, or even good. I'm saying that they thrive because they are familiar.
