SUMMARIES:
– In the competitive world of fast-food chains, every little thing counts and can be the difference between turning a profit or going out of business.
– Do you need that extra giant soda that would satisfy a team of thirsty kids? No, but for a few cents more it can easily be yours, so why not get it? This pop psychology is the basic idea behind the efforts of fast-food chains to upsell you more food than you need.
– Many of us have grown up believing that using coupons to purchase items is a smart idea because these little slips of paper save us money. But is this really true? The answer is a little more complicated than you’d think.
– Most of the value menus you see being pushed by the fast-food companies play a similar role that the coupons play. They are more of a marketing ploy than a moneymaker for the food chains.
– One of the major reasons fast-food chains have thrived over the years is that they are convenient. Think about when you go on a road trip: how far can you ever get from a McDonald’s or some other major fast-food chain?
– There is a well-known statistic that is often repeated about restaurants: according to the numbers, more than half of new restaurants go out of business.
– Everyone knows you are not going to get rich working at a fast-food restaurant. Hiring employees as inexpensively as they can is actually part of their formula for success.
– It’s an old adage that it’s the little things that count, and this certainly seems to be true when it comes to the big fast-food companies. These companies do not charge for things like straws and napkins, but they do charge extra for a lot of little things like sauces and condiments, like salsa and guacamole.
– After burgers and french fries, fountain sodas are the items we most associate with fast-food restaurants. It turns out this is probably not an accident, as these cheap and easy-to-make fountain soft drinks are big moneymakers for these corporations.
– These fast food companies have not become internationally successful by selling you the cheapest items on their menus. The fast-food restaurants advertise more expensive meals on their menus with colorful pictures of big, juicy burgers and crisp, golden french fries.

When you get a McDonald's ad..
LITTLE BASTARDS !
V.V
Click bait video claims capitalism is a scam.
It’s not “scams” it’s how business works. Everywhere does it. Your local grocery store, restaurants, clothing stores, toy stores, all business do it…is recommend learning what a scam actually is
Red Robin isn’t a scam you get all the fries you want and kids get refills on there food
I can tell you this stuff is true. I work in fast food as the drive thru cashier and if someone orders a drink and don’t specify a size, which happens almost all the time, we’re to automatically ring up a large which is over $2.
Minimum wage in my state is $7.25 what’s yours
Wow tell me something I didn’t know! when you go to a restaurant or fast food outlet no one is holding a gun to your head demanding you spend more or anything
I think video game companies started using these tactics over the past decade
07:33 are those nipps??! Demonitized
people are just sheep.
i refuse to drink pop. i hate it. it sucks i have to pay more for water. then people get pop for free.
Lol, i have a coworker at McDonald's that literally steals 5 pesos from foreigner costumers
Those aren't scams, that's a business model.
Listen, when a company LIKE MC DONALDS, says they can't afford to pay their employees more; it's a giant fucking fat lie. They just DONT WANT TO. Instead of the CEO being able to afford 20 yachts, he'd only be able to afford 10, how sad. Also, jobs like these need to run when the "teenagers" aren't there; so obviously it's not JUST a teenager job. It's just sold that way to keep you from fighting back about pay and other things that make the job a better work environment. And if a company cant afford to pay their workers AT LEAST a living wage, do they even DESERVE to even be in business? Probably the fuck not. Stop sucking the dick of the company and start putting pressure on them. Start with unions, hell EVEN JUST DISCUSSING HOW MUCH YOU GET PAID IN FRONT OF YOUR MANAGERS WITH YOUR FELLOW EMPLOYEES. Discussing your wages between employees is ONLY frowned upon with the suit and ties because then employees can demand better wages. And heaven forbid you find out someone makes more than you and you demand a raise. Also, if people want to complain about the people that work here, don't eat there. You don't get to demean people at a service, THEN ASK FOR THAT SAID SERVICE. Go fuck yourselves. Glad everyone now is realizing about BAD China is, maybe we can speed it up and realize that current capitalism is destroying our future.
What about adding a slice of cheese for 59 cents to $1 or a certain up charge. In the moment you say yes and you get suckered in.
