McDonalds

In Class a couple of weeks back, our marketing class was talking about quantity versus quality. One example of poor quality but high quantity was McDonald's. We discussed how they might serve over 1 million people a year but the food is nothing to be desired. Our class also talked about how McDonald's is going from a family fun restaurant to re-ampting to a more modern, technically advanced restaurant. How they are trying to keep up with the trends of today- having a play place for kids with Wi-Fi, Lattes for the parents, and preparing food that does not clog the arteries. Most of my class agreed that McDonald's has come a long way to better advertise and market their company.
After all the talk about food, we asked the teacher to take a poll of how many people eat at McDonald's within the last month. Out of maybe 40 people only 3 students (including myself raised their hand). Other students just started to laugh and make comments about how sick their food is. Me on the other hand, I don't mind eating at McDonald's. I rather enjoy there McDouble's and dollar menu. It was just funny to me that only three people raised their hand. Now I know that their was most likely some McDonald's closet eaters in the class room. Because there is no way that 40 plus people have not eaten there lately. Especially when you have 15 of those individuals on sports teams at the University.
Just note- I will stand up for what I believe and I believe that McDonald's might be fast food but my expectations are not high when I eat there. If certain people don't like McDonald's or avoid it all together than they are putting their standards too high. Live on McDonald's fast food.
