made too quickly cannot be good, they say. and they've
never even been inside a McDick's. They never even
specified McDick's, or it's particular brand of product
(can't bring myself to call it food), but Mickey Ds has
left Bolivia.
For a company which has long produced its sickening
stats for how many new stores were opening, per hour,
and how many people were eating their crap, at any given
time, I'm enjoying this retreat.

McDonald’s
closing all restaurants in Bolivia as nation rejects fast food

McDonald’s
happy image and its golden arches aren’t the gateway to bliss in Bolivia. This
South American country isn’t falling for the barrage of advertising and fast
food cooking methods that so easily engulf countries like the United States. Bolivians simply don’t trust food prepared
in such little time. The quick and easy, mass production method of fast
food actually turns Bolivians off altogether. Sixty percent of Bolivians are an
indigenous population who generally don’t find it worth their health or money
to step foot in a McDonald’s. Despite its economically friendly fast food
prices, McDonald’s couldn’t coax enough of the indigenous population of Bolivia
to eat their BigMacs, McNuggets or McRibs.
One
indigenous woman, Esther Choque, waiting for a bus to arrive outside a
McDonald’s restaurant, said, “The closest I ever came was one day when a rain
shower fell and I climbed the steps to keep dry by the door. Then they came out
and shooed me away. They said I was dirtying the place. Why would I care if
McDonald’s leaves [Bolivia]?”
Fast
food chain remained for a decade, despite losses every year
The
eight remaining McDonald’s fast food shops that stuck it out in the Bolivian
city’s of La Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, had reportedly
operated on losses every year for a decade. The McDonald’s franchise had been
persistent over that time, flexing its franchise’s deep pockets to continue
business in Bolivia.
