To some not at all. To me, yes. But again it's complicated. You don't know for whom you are really working for. Who will really benefit from your effort.

Well, I don't think it's true in this case. I also don't think anything good has come from drugs being illegal in the US.
 
No but you can tell by the name Panda Express that that's a pretty awesome food chain right there and I don't think I need to mention anything else about Carl's Jr than Cornfed's video link...
 
It depends in which terms we talk. If we speak Economy probably it's more convenient them to be illegal. And probably that's why they are still illegal. If we speak human values, certainly no.
 
Maybe. Medicinal Marijuana was legalized in my state a couple years ago and that helped the economy. Now it's legal for recreational use but that law was just passed and we still have to wait to see the results.

There are some American Chains here, but I'm not crazy about them. I'm not crazy about food chains generally.

Marijuana is nothing. A tree takes so much space and it gives less than a kilo. Now compare the profit of it with one kilo of coca. There is the money. And heroin.

Well perhaps legalizing that would help the economy even more.

I don't eat nearly as much fast food as I used to, but the best fast food chains are In'n'Out Burger (mostly in the Western states), Fatburger, Chipotle, and Baja Fresh. Carl's Jr. is sometimes pretty good (and they have the best commercials!). McDonald's is probably the most inconsistent. I've found that if you go to a rural McDonald's, such as at a freeway exit in the middle of nowhere, the food is fantastic. The store is run by the hardest-working kids from the local high school, because that's the best job around for them. They actually care about making sure the burgers are put together nicely, the fries are fresh and crispy, the soda mixture is perfect, etc. In contrast, McDonald's stores in urban neighborhoods tend to have employees who don't give a crap, because those are probably the worst jobs in the area, and therefore the food quality suffers: burgers are lukewarm and assembled sloppily, fries are soggy, Coke tastes funny. What once was McDonald's claim to fame -- that a hamburger tastes the same no matter which store you visit, from Paris, Texas to Paris, France -- is no longer the case, which is probably why its market share keeps declining.
 
Burger wise I quite like Johnny Rockets. I like their aesthetic concept & music as well. A bit expensive though. Fatburger there is but I never tried, seriously, how to try something with that name.

Here we are. To maintain the market share of your company -especially of that kind- you need to give some value to the employees. And a vision if possible.
Profit orientation is ok, but let's not forget the human value. You treat them like slaves, you gonna loose my friend.
Like this former Apple Retail vice president John Browett who as soon as he took the position started to sack people & cut overtimes. In a company with huge growth & billions of cash money.
And then you got Lenovo's CEO Yang Yuanqing who distributed his bonus of 3M$ to the low paid employees. Now, how awesome is that.
