Sad to say, everyone eats McDonald's. Even with the bad press on all the bad health discussions. People still eat there. I fail to see the charm but business is business, if you give people what they want, they will buy it. I hardly even eat there myself. Being such a global giant, they are also ready, and easily do, jump on the perverbial bandwagon of current trends. Their newest jump, Starbuck's-like coffee, iced, just in time for summer, and without the high price sticker of Starbuck's. They stay innovative and new (they just tore down a very decent building in our town, just to build a new shiny one, really, the old one just did not look old, wish I had that kind of money to waste). They react to market faster than day traders. They are global and gung ho, still after all these years. I still don't see the attraction, but I still never see the order lines ever empty, EVER.
