>when Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, the two richest men in the world, were visiting China together and they were hungry they decided to eat at McDonald's
1. How well-known is McDonald's in your country?
2. How popular is it in your country?
3. Do people eat it when they're in other countries?
>also tfw Warren Buffett also pulled out some coupons to reduce the cost of the meal
>two richest men
No sweetie
1. Very well known
2. Quite popular, it's among the biggest restaurant chains in Canada, though not nearly so popular as in America
3. I ate at one in Kiev once, it's located right in Independence Square (the Maidan).
Fun fact, the McFlurry was first made at a McDonalds in Canada
>also tfw Warren Buffett also pulled out some coupons to reduce the cost of the meal
Rich people are rich for a reason, not wasting money is one of them.
>In 2008, Buffett became the richest person in the world, with a total net worth estimated at $62 billion[61] by Forbes and at $58 billion[62] by Yahoo, overtaking Bill Gates, who had been number one on the Forbes list for 13 consecutive years.[63] In 2009, Gates regained the top position on the Forbes list, with Buffett shifted to second place.
I haven't been to McDonalds in over a decade with all the turks around selling donër and pizza nowadays.
Jeff B, Mr Amazon, is now considered the richest.

Thanks bros

Didn't a character explain this on Band of Brothers? Being able to get the same burger all over the world. Everybody thought he was crazy
UK
Very
Again very. They have more locations than any other chain. I prefer Burger King burgers but they're more expensive than McDonald's and I think the closest one to me at home is like a 40 minute drive, whereas there are two McDonalds about 10 away from me.
I've eaten McDicks here a number of times.
Link? Which episode?
I don't remember really, it could've even been another movie.
>1. How well-known is McDonald's in your country?
Very well-known.
>2. How popular is it in your country?
Practically non-existent.
>3. Do people eat it when they're in other countries?
I had a cheeseburger in Akihabara earlier this year. Oh I had some in London a few years ago too.
What did you think of them?
Not something I'd go out of my way to procure.
I'm traveling to Germany in a couple of months, do they have mcChickens in their McDonald's and do they speak English? I'm genuinely curious to how other countries make their food.
They have beer

1well known. i have a stock.
2 there is asomeone never goes to but they know its name.
3 dont know. depend on people
fuxking retard
Probably the most popular fast food chain but is dying out to fast casual restaurants. Also kebab, noodle stores and etc are rising in popularity.
They’re desperately trying to be a cultural icon with forcing ‘Maccas’ too hard and sort of killing the phrase.
You’ll see lots of Australians at Bali Mcdonald’s And etc as they’re the sort who want an overseas holidays but not to explore another culture.
Kebabs are better than McDonald’s. I hate the Maccas memeing shit.
>Look at how Aussie we are!! XD
I know. I love the non-franchise store that give you twice as much topping as compared to Origin or Ispa
If I'm walking home after a night out I'll stop by to get a couple of cheeseburgers but otherwise I don't really go there
Also if I'm driving lost distance I might stop there for lunch
I only go there if everything else is closed and I'm starving. But these days there's heaps of options at all times of day and night so that's pretty much never.
The Turks will win over our hearts and minds with their kebabs.
I'm a manager in a rural town of 2000.
It's very different in small places without options. I see the same people here 7 days a week for the most part.
Why don't you move to the city that sounds awful
Both of them have cards which allows them to eat unlimited free Maccas anywhere in the world. Buffet used this in China because Gates was not yet given one of these lifetime cards.
>They’re desperately trying to be a cultural icon with forcing ‘Maccas’ too hard and sort of killing the phrase.
They've been doing that for decades and making stupid amounts of money off it.
Kebab vans and stores are mostly ran by Lebanese guys.
I'm moving up to cairns soon.
I came here because dad owns a house and I'm barely paying rent, allowing me to save up.
Why would user move where he would effectively be earning at least a third less? Rent in the city is a few hundred dollars a week dearer for the same shit you'd get in a small town.
Have you spent time up there before? The climate is awful.
There's a reason why it's more expensive m8, plus wages/jobs in general outside of the city are minimal.
This is true for minimum wage enployees, but less so for skilled employees.
I make more at McDonald's than my brother does at his skilled boiler making job, wages in rural towns are awful.
I know but it’s still Turkish food. There’s even Indians who run them.
I noticed that McDonald's in EU was expensive as fuck (except for Spain) and Fanta wasn't orange but yellow
Australians have taken over this thread.
Thanks for the McFlurry based Leafland
The Maccas campaign makes me cringe. Maybe I’m not patriotic or something because most Australian nationalist stuff looks retarded.
No the Maccas shit is dumb
How much more expensive? I was confused when Thai McDonald's was then same price as Australian despite their workers earning fuck all pay (I think managers made $2.50 an hour)
>one of the biggest brands
>very
>i guess if you want something familiar, I eat it all the time in airports.
Maybe you have a case of cultural cringe? But is right.
Thanks for the Chicken Mac India
It’s because we pretend we have a culture.
All Australians have cultural cringe unless they’re like bogans.
We have culture.
Shrimp on the barbie mate, stomp some chazzwazzas while you're out there Sheila
Drinking piss is Oz culture.
Yea pretty much the reason why I don't eat there. McDonalds goes for a family friendly image here and don't sell beef or pork to appeal to everyone.
Non franchise places do and I tend to go to those.
Oh, I listened to Bill Gates say this the other day. I can't remember where from, though.
Warren Buffett is an eccentric guy, as far as I can tell.
Every McDonald’s has M.C. chicken
>I know but it’s still Turkish food.
You average Australian has no idea where the kebab comes from and closer associates it with Leb wog food than crypto-Greek food. Most people wouldn't be able to point out Turkey on the map.
1. Everyone know McDonald's
2. It isn't popular except with little kids and poor people.
3. Maybe, if they are worried about hygiene.
>kebab
It's called yiros you filthy mudslimes.
I can point out turkey on a map. I do it all the time at Woolworths
maccas is the fucking best
anyone who disagrees is an unaustralian cunt who would rather eat gook food
>chinese bought Mc Donalds name in China
>now its another word here
> 1. How well-known is McDonald's in your country?
Extremely well, there is at least two in every major city, mine has five.
> 2. How popular is it in your country?
Not quite, it's cheap and people go there, but it doesn't have a very good reputation.
> 3. Do people eat it when they're in other countries?
Pretty sure that is frowned upon, personally I always eat at KFC when I'm abroad.
this t b h
That’s their problem. They will never discover how amazing foreign cuisines can be.
REAL australians eat kebab
>there is at least two in every major city, mine has five.
SCREAMING
mine has like literally 300 in the metro area. not exaggerating. We're the third most densely populated country (excluding micronations) when it comes to mcdonalds (behind the US and Canada)
Nevermind I was wrong, we have seven of them, one for ~100k people. If it makes you feel better, there are over 40 of them in Rome.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that roasties travelling abroad will ALWAYS stop eating and drinking at Starbucks, as there is literally none in the whole country (at least yet).
It would be pretty stupid to build some Starbucks in Italy since you already have the best coffee in the world. And it's pretty cheap aswell.
The Starbucks CEO has announced that they will open their first cafeteria in Milan soon, they plan to eventually expand in the whole country. Roasties and faggots are their only possible audience there though imo, any normal person will want to avoid the overpriced watery coffee and the reek of homosexuality.
how do i become that rich?

>>Rich men don’t eat veggies.
Make me think.
