When i went to McDonalds, I observed many different things. First i was looking at the type of people that were there, i saw some elderly people, and teenage kids. They seemed to enjoy their food which looked very greasy. I also noticed that when i was at McDonalds they had a display of all the kids toys that you would get for a happy meal, and next to the childrens display of toys was a A.T.M machine. I kind of found it funny because it shows how serious McDonalds is about having their costumers stay in their restaurant, and also have it more convenient for the costumers. The McDonalds that i went to was very clean, the tables were sprayed with a cleaner but were wiped down with what to seem like a semi-dirty table cloth. It seemed to me that every time someone finished their meal a worker would come by sweep around the floor and clean the table. I was quite surprised on how persistent they were on making sure everything was neat and tidy. Near the cashers was a self serving table that held, ketchup,straws,salt,and pepper. When i saw this the first thing that came to mind was making things easier for the costumers, but i was thinking bout it more and i also thought that maybe they had it because the cashers don't want to be bothered for extra straws or ketchup. When i went to other Mcdonalds i would ask for those exact same things and i would get attitude. Maybe the McDonalds i went to wasn't only trying to make it easy for the costumers but also making it easy for the employees as well. I also notice that the pricing in some of the foods was very high for the quantity and quality that they were getting it for.
When I went to the green market the setting and Ora was completely different. First there was A LOT more people at the green market then at McDonalds, but i did notice that the age group was different. I did not see any kids what so ever. When i was observing the green market i stopped to ask some people who had booths up and were selling their products. One guy was selling some organic dairy products. I asked him why did he decided to start selling organic dairy. He said that the ingredients were much better and that he wanted to help people make better decisions on their eating habits and also the quality was much better. I asked him how long he was in this business and he said he has been in this business for 21 years and worked in the creamery for 6 years. When i was looking around i noticed that the pricings were much much better then Mcdonalds. At the green market they were selling most of their stuff by the pound. So not only was the green market much healthier it was also cheaper. I asked a lot of other people who had their booths up how many years were they working in organic and healthy foods and they said they have been doing this for 16-25 years. I think that it would be highly sad if someone at Mcdonalds was working at McDonalds for that long.
In essence i believe that just because McDonalds is easier and just "convenient" and so called cheap doesn't mean that its a good place to go to. The green market was A LOT healthier then McDonalds and in my opinion was cheaper so why not just go and prepare yourself a good, cheap, healthy, organic meal when you come back from the green market?
