We answer a visitor question:

Somewhere, along the line, a visitor to this website applied the then-popular term "pajamaboy (Thanks, Obama) to certain members of McDonald's management team.

"Pajama Boy" is a pejorative term for a photograph posted online in 2013 by the American political organization Organizing for Action of one of its employees, Ethan Krupp, in support of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as "Obamacare".

Is CosMc's a Test, Or Just Wasted O/O Money?

There are two kinds of "testing" in the McDonald's system. The first kind involves real testing and evaluation. Fake beef is a good example of real testing.

The other kind of testing is when the CEO or BOD decides they have superior knowledge and judgment and launch a "test" with a predetermined outcome.

CosMc's is such a "test." Owners/Operators will never get the real numbers or the real results. Owners/Operators' money will pay for the growth of CosMc's, and the return will be the same as from the McCafe grocery store retail line.
