Japan has both McDonalds and Starbucks. Also, McDonalds is a franchise so "they" are not making most of the decisions here.
(Btw, I like US McDonalds better than Japan's, but maybe I'm the only one that thinks this.)
- jamiek88 1y agoIt’s weird, I’ve travelled for work and pleasure more than pretty much anyone I meet (I’ve visited 90 countries, worked in 21, lived longer term in 5. Currently settled West Coast US) and I’m somewhat of a fast food connoisseur lol - KFC, Domino’s, BK, Pizza Hut, etc are all without exception better in Europe and Asia with the exception of ,in my opinion , McDonalds. Maccies is better here as a rule. Sure you get the shitty franchisees sometimes but generally speaking! This is a semi controversial opinion so, it’s interesting you feel the same way!
- ehnto 1y agoCan I ask you about the use of Maccies, is it a term you've used for a while? Do you remember where you first picked it up? It is a somewhat hot topic in Australia, where we've always called it Maccas, but somehow Maccies has entered the lexicon here too.
- BHShaw 1y agoI've heard it called Maccie or Macky D in the UK for at least 15 years
- throwaway2037 1y ago> Maccies is better here as a rule. Shots fired! No joke: Why do you feel that way? Also: Better than McD's in Japan?
- azemetre 1y agoCan you say what makes USA McDs better? Definitely curious!

- astrange 1y agoIt's not a big difference but Japanese burgers are smaller (of course) but the buns aren't small enough. So there's just way too much bread in my experience. Also, US has a mango pineapple smoothie that's really good. I refuse to look up how much sugar is in it.
- throwaway2037 1y agoI know McD's has a mix of company-owned and franchise stores in the US. Is it the same in Japan? I don't know anything about how Starbucks works.
