I believe that most in the UK are concessions, so the staff in the store are not actually employed directly by McDonalds but by ‘DogBurger Productions (Hicksville) Ltd’, or who ever runs the concession. It makes it easier for the chain to disassociate itself from that particular ‘restaurant’ if something goes wrong – food poisoning or a killing spree;), maybe. That was why burger stores suddenly appeared in petrol stations a few years ago and then just as suddenly disappeared when the new clients hung around outside smoking their fags (amongst other things), etc!

Maybe it seems like there should be more because you see so many of them – which surely means that there are numerous areas of the country in which they might be regarded as like an oasis in a desert…:rolleyes:
