McDonalds

Hi everyone, Did you know you can use Wireless Internet in McDonalds Restaurants in the UK.

do they let you take healthy food in with you?

No need to risk your health by going inside, you access the net from the car park.

I believe it a "feature" they are adding to ALL of their restaurants.

Haven't seen the new Spring menu yet have you? Fruit and Walnut salad!

don't attribute it to me!

Okay...do you now what kind of a business McDonald's REALLY is? Hint..it is NOT the restaurant business!

Garbage disposal?

NOOOO..it is a land business! It buys property in generally under-developed areas, AND generally on a corner or intersection, clears the land, improves the land by laying a piece of blacktop then putting a building on it. The land then appreciates MULTIPLE times and they sell it and move to another location. THAT is why you will sometimes see McDonald's Restaurants within site of each other, one is getting ready to close while the other is appreciating. When they sell, the building comes down and the property is then suitable for whatever you want to put on it. In the interim they made money by selling people fast food. QUITE the business plan! By land cheap, improve it slightly, put up a cheap but recognizable building. Sell something out the building, in this case food, let the land appreciate as the area builds up around it and sell when the market demands it. By selling something in the interim, the land is making money WHILE it is appreciating in value.
