"Today I had a Biggie. Usually I just have a small, and refill. Why pay more? But today I needed a Biggie inside me. Some days, I guess, are like that. Only a Biggie will do. You wake up and you know: today I will get a Biggie and I will put it inside me and I will feel better. One time I saw a guy with three Biggies at once. One wonders not about him but about what it is that holds us back." Waffledude-- I am impressed. Why don't I ever find anything so sureal? |

Yes, I've banged a burger or two lo these past few years but there's really nothing like Wendy! |

Dave Thomas was really a hamburger man,,,,,, He followed the Colonel in chicken shit..... And the Colonel wasn't really a Colonel, he was a pressure cooker salesman..... So what my feeble mindspace wants to know, Is "Is Ronald McDonald a clown" ?????? I think the he is part of a global conspiracy to undermine the sensibilities of atheist public school children, so that they don't bitch when the developer pollutes their water rights.... |
Now, there's not a whole hell of a lot to do when you're drunk and in Baltimore, so they stole one of those huge inflatable Ronald McDonalds off of the top of a McDonald's, deflated it, and put it in the trunk of their car. They drove very carefully, so they were surprised when they got pulled over. It seemed that, unbeknownst to them, the Ronald had partially reinflated itself and was trailing for about 20 feet behind the car. The cop was almost laughing too hard to say to them "I think we've got you for *chortle* McKidnapping" The cop thought it was so funny that he just took the inflatable Ronald. |
In 1954, Ray Kroc was a 55 year old salesperson for Multimixer, a six-spindled milkshake machine that was the state of the art for the drugstores and resturants at the time. Two of his customers were Mac and Dick McDonald who owned one drive-in resturant in San Bernardino, California and were using an amazing eight Multimizers in their small operation when one was the norm. After carefully observing their routine, he became fascinated by the simplicity of their system - each step in the preperation of their limited menu was stripped to its essence and accomplished with a minimum of effort. Their prices were low and the enthusiasm of their steady stream of customers made him realize that this was the "golden opportunity" he'd been looking for. But when he approached the McDonald brothers about expanding their business into a chain of units, they were less than enthusiastic, being more than happy with their quiet, California lifestyle. Although with his natural entrepreneurial spirit he found their reluctance amazing, he was undaunted and suggested they get somebody else to open the other locations for them. When they wondered who they could find who would want to "go to all that trouble", he, naturally, suggested himself. He acquired the rights to franchise copies of their operation across the United States, picturing the hundreds of Multimixers they would use, not yet visualizing their success in terms of hamburgers. His first resturant was opened in 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois and for years, he continued to expand while struggling with getting the business into shape, learning as he went along, perfecting the overriding principle upon which McDonald's was built: to give QSC and V - Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value. In 1961, Ray Kroc bought out the McDonald brothers for $2.7 million and McDonald's Coperation was on its way to making history. By 1965, there were over 700 resturants in the United States and in 1988, McDonald's opened it's 10, 000th resturant in Washington, D.C. McDonald's now has over 25, 000 resturants in more than 110 countries around the world including Germany, France, England, the Caribbean, Japan, Central and South America, Australia and Russia. A new McDonald's is opening somewhere in the world every six hours, living testiment to one man's vision. If you'd like to read more about the McDonald's story, two excellent books are "Grinding it Out", by Ray Kroc, and "McDonald's Behind the Arches", by John F. Love; both are available in local libraries and bookstores. ~~~~ That's from my McDonald's emplyee handbook. I worked at a McDonald's for a few months one summer and it was the hardest job I've ever had. ihateditihateditihatedit. I've never hated a group of people more than the people I worked with at M's. freaking spoiled little rich freaking brats who complain cuz their parents buy them cars for turning 16 and They have to pay for the insurance...poor poor babys!! go back to freaking jail, ya deadbeats. Oh man, it still stings. |
The funniest thing was that they had a French restaurant there... Real gourmet French food on a McDonalds campus. That was surreal... |
