McDonald's closing all restaurants in Bolivia as nation rejects fast food:


 "McDonald's happy image and its golden arches aren't the gateway to bliss in Bolivia. This South American country isn't falling for the barrage of advertising and fast food cooking methods that so easily engulf countries like the United States. Bolivians simply don't trust food prepared in such little time. The quick and easy, mass production method of fast food actually turns Bolivians off altogether. Sixty percent of Bolivians are an indigenous population who generally don't find it worth their health or money to step foot in a McDonald's. Despite its economically friendly fast food prices, McDonald's couldn't coax enough of the indigenous population of Bolivia to eat their BigMacs, McNuggets or McRibs.

we dunno what all the hoopla's about,
a few years ago a McDonald's in the Financial District
tried a similar gimmick: it had live piano entertainment,
waiter/waitress table service, tablecloths . . .
it didn't take long for the accoutrements ('ceptin' the piano player)
to disappear.
hey, one goes into a fast-food joint for just . . . one . . . thing --- fast food! ;-)
anyhoo, there it is the world's best French Fries have gone, . . .er, uh, uhm . . . European?

McDonald's redesign aims for European lounge - Food Inc.- msnbc.com:
"A McDonald's in downtown Manhattan is outfitted with outlets for plugging in laptops,
upholstered vinyl chairs, subdued lighting and employees whose all-black uniforms suggest a hip boutique."
