DE VUELTA A MCDONALD'S

Remember when I posted about this McDonald's when it was under construction on the andador near our house? Well, it's finished now, and would you believe that they only serve postres? No hamburguesas? No arcos dorados? Have you ever heard of such a thing?

This is all there is. A hole in the wall.

It sells cold treats and therefore does not compete with the nearby eateries or generate trash in the form of styrofoam or paper containers that might litter the andador. But it does compete with the local sweets store next door, much to the chagrin of the manager there. While we are not happy about this incursion, we are pleased that it has such a low profile. Now if nobody buys anything, maybe it will go away. Unfortunately, as the photo above shows, people are buying things. Must be the irresistible appeal of US consumer culture.

  1. The McDonalds IceCream cones and Sundaes are very popular in Mexico, there are several stores like this all over the country, you can find another in "Plaza Boulevares" and I don't think people are attracted to "the irresistible appeal of US consumer culture" I think is more the taste of the ice cream.
