How many McDonalds outlets are there in Russia? I heard over 400, and that may be in Moscow alone, I forget. (Saw this in the news over a week ago when it was still only 4 locations closed)
So, twelve locations out of over 400? To me that doesn't indicate that the entire country of russia is populated by filthy pigs or anything. Nor does it indicate that there's a problem with the McD's corporation itself.
What it does lead me to suspect is that there are about a dozen individual franchise owners over in Russia who aren't smart enough to follow the carefully laid out time-proven plan McDonald's corporation has for quality and cleanliness standards. It's the very reason why McDeath's is such a successful franchising operation --- even standards and proven business plan, and if each location follows it to the letter they invariably turn huge profits.
It's been a no-brainer for what, five decades now? But apparently there are at least twelve Russians (and their management and staff) who aren't smart enough to stick to the gameplan.
