    how? when mcdonald's is cheaper for coffee than starbucks?

    That is the perception, but it is not what you get.

    Anyway, this is about the ownership not the coffee.
  • I would be interested to know why a company alledgedly owned by pepsi sells coca cola.

    i'm giving it less than 3 pages before it turns out that they're all run by the illuminati and that coke and pepsi are the same thing, but we're programmed to think that they taste different because they're in different packaging, all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    i went to Burger king to day and they had a very pretty girl at the tilll who i believe was indian (by the way she spoke) now i have nothing against indian workes or foreign ones but the problem i noticed was her english was limited and as i waited for my meal lots of people had different problems trying to order what they wanted because she could not understand there accents and she also had problems in explaining back to them

    now surely in a job where someone is going to be conversing with customers being able to understand and to speak english would be the right trait

    not just thefact she was pretty and had a nice smile

    I'm sure she'll soon pick it up. There's not a massive amount of different things you can order at bk. I remember once I was in a KFC in Memphis and I told the server I was having trouble understanding her accent. She replied with "honey there is only one person in here with an accent and it's not me". Happy days :)
