People vote with their wallets. It wouldn't be there if it didn't make any money.

+1, don´t like it, don´t buy it (let´s be honest, considering the taste of anything out of MC Donalds not very difficult either), after a few weeks without selling anything they will go away.

I'm not French, and I'm shocked. What are they thinking? All that grease floating in the air landing on paintings and statues...

Well, it's going to be in a visitors' center underground. You walk in through that big glass pyramid outside and there's a complex beneath the Louvre itself.
I guess it's no big deal if the whole world wants to love McDonald's.. I just like more locality, more originality whether it's in the States or abroad. We've already turned America into a giant strip mall.. must the rest of the Earth follow in our footsteps?

How on earth does a fast food restaurant that specializes in chicken run out of ... chicken? This week KFC temporarily closed up to 800 stores in the UK and Ireland after a failure in its supply chain for chicken. KFC had recently switched delivery and logistics suppliers from Bidvest Logistics to DHL (DPW). It was a massive win for DHL: Britain is KFC's largest market in Europe, and one of its top five globally. For its part, DHL promised to set "a new benchmark for delivering fresh products to KFC." A new benchmark was achieved — just not the one either company anticipated. It all fell apart. (The service, not the chicken.) There's a simplicity to this story that makes it fascinating. No doubt dozens of people were involved in this massive transfer of contract. And no doubt there is a sophisticated explanation for the "operational
