@@alexhobbs2209 Impossible, the world knows that "ze jermans" have no humor.

Oh yeah, good point.

Its the same in every european city since all city centers are historic. In France they go even further in some places. The McDonalds on the main square in Toulouse for example is not allowed to have its trademark yellow logo on the buildings because all company logo's have to be gold colored to not ruin the aesthetics of the square with ugly logo's.

Dutch tourism student here. When I visited South east Poland, my Polish friend suggested me to go to those joints when I went to Krakow, and YES. I loved it. It kept the essence of the place, making it also more attractive to visit and the overall meal there a lot more enjoyable.

Another good one is in the old town of Freiburg in Germany. The building it's in is a rebuild of one of the original city gates and defensive towers. There are no golden arches, just the McDonalds name over the arches where the tramway passes through. There is also the McDonalds in Salzburg, Austria, that has the golden arches built into a traditional style sign hanging from the building. The interior looks more like a cafe, and in fact the McCafe brand is at the forefront.

not just Krakow, it's also in other polish malls and i once found myself trying to check my order out of the wrong fast food haha

Still is junk food.

Yes, it is super weird. I mean, i understand the USA, they love junk food and fast food (no wonder why they are so fat) and i can (kind of) understand Germany, they don't have really good nor diverse food (they have great desserts tough) so thats why the go junk food places like McDo, but frenchs? They have delicious food... why do they go to this shity junk food nasty place? you either go when you are a kid for the crappy toys, or when you have NO time or NO money or just have BAD TASTE.

@@jeremybeau8334 well McDonald's is much better in France than in the US. The restaurants are nice and welcoming, they have most of their ingredients produced in France: their marketing and presentation is on top. They even have reusable glasses, cones for fries etc (instead of cardboard). In France if you want cheap greasy food you go to a kebab ("un grec").

@@huguesjouffrai9618 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8WdlKt8leDJqnU.html French man in Japan, talking about how shity French Mcdonald is. Here and in China McDonalds is shit.

Lets see if they can also achieve forcing manufacturers to release the software needed to pair certain components in objects that can be repaired. Namely the sensors on some phones by a company that released their first phone in 2007 and still does anti consumer stuff... this is not for security reasons, its just so that they can annoy you even more. If you still think its for security purposes, tell me why. Im not braindead and know how to counter these arguments.

As a Mexican-Japanese-Spanish that has lived in multiple countries, those kind of rules are really not the reason why good outcomes happen. Point and case, there are many other countries that implement the same kind of bans, example, Mexico, that just became way more inconvenient, because, for example, in most cases they do not even give you straws or cup covers or anything with your meals, making it way more easy to just spill everything everywhere, and if the customer complaints they just say "that's the law". Or you have examples like in Japan, in which they partially banned "free" plastic bags, and now people just pay for them all the time, but nothing changed more than the inconvenience and the price. The only reason this happened in McDo is because they care about their customers, and they want to give a good service, even when the rules make it harder. Not only that, but as told in the video, unlike most McDonalds around the world, people tend to eat-in at McDo, which means that it is a good long time investment for them, since those things are going to get used a lot, they improve the experience, and in the end they will end up saving money.

What Americans call "authoritarian" we call welfare. I consider a state successful only if it cares for its citizens. That includes stuff like free healthcare and clamping down on corporations that exploit consumers.

@@theakiwar9118 but there still isnt a way to pair a new fkin home button. And its not for security reasons. Because if it were security, why do genuine buttons get rejected? Why is it still not possible to pair that shit yourself even when reset? If you reset an iphone, you have to turn fmi off and still need to enter your code to reset, and after a reset there is no more personal data for the scanner to protect, thus it should just get paired automatically. Yeah I ofcourse know the real reason. Its because Apple wants to give the middlefinger to their customers, see Louis Rossmann. They always just use security as a way to let people think its good. We need to wake up. I already knew this was BS when I was in 4th class(2016), but still people said this was for security purposes. No its not. Its a sensor, not a NAND. Would also be unprofitable for Apple Inc to implement a NAND for every faceid touchid module out there. Not only touchid faceid but also software locks in general.

Oi, mate! Non hablo kangaroo

Mcdonalds in Asia is 1000x better than europe

Yeah the replacable batteries are gonna be a big deal

It is called the Brussel effect

The EU has a long history of setting high standards for products and services, and these standards often become the de facto international standards. This is because businesses that want to sell their products in the EU have to comply with these standards, and once they have done so, it is often easier for them to comply with the same standards in other markets. The example you mentioned of Apple being forced to use USB-C is a good one. Apple has been reluctant to adopt USB-C, but it is now doing so because it wants to sell its products in the EU. Once Apple starts using USB-C, it is likely that other smartphone manufacturers will follow suit, and this will mean that USB-C becomes the standard for smartphones around the world. This is just one example of how the EU can influence international standards. The EU also sets standards for a wide range of other products and services, including toys, food, and medical devices. These standards help to ensure that products are safe and that consumers are protected. The EU's influence on international standards is not always intentional. In some cases, businesses simply adopt EU standards because they are the best available. However, in other cases, the EU actively promotes its standards to other countries. This is because the EU believes that its standards are the best way to protect consumers and to ensure the quality of products and services. I agree with you that the EU's influence on international standards is often overlooked. However, it is an important part of the EU's role in the world. The EU's standards help to improve the quality of life for people around the world, and they also help to promote fair trade.

Same for animal testing for cosmetics. Only China has been recalcitrant about it. The EU ban slowly stamped out the horrid cruelty in most of the world by setting a new standard for customers to demand.

Not ban, but not use it as much. It's all supply and demand, if people truly demanded no plastic, there would be no plastic. Plus making people not use plastic makes stuff more expensive.

​@@baph0metDemand dictating supply is a false narrative with hopes that Companies will always bow down to the consumer because they don't They only bow down to profits and nothing else and a small minority of complaints is nothing to them. Even if nearly 50% of the population wants a company to do something they won't do it at all unless a large organised resistance forces them too. Free market eithout regulation would just lead to a Monopoly as the most profitable company beats down everything else and becomes a tumor of a Nation when it begins draining parts of society like living wages relative to inflation and meddling in Goverment affairs to solidify their parasitic attachment to the country. Regulation to prevent monopolies are the best way to keep the Free market truly free.

@@GerdLPluu "Made want it" doesn't exist. No one is controlling other peoples thoughts, you control your actions. You buying a T shirt isn't H&M making you want it, unless you are mentally disabled. That would mean humans can't decide for themselves, which completely breaks the concept of consent "Oh he raped me because he actually MADE me fall in love with him and agree to sex, it wasn't my doing".

@@lowtierhumanthelv8312 Does the average citizen profit from it?

Idk who claimed this… Businesses actively lobby for regulations that give them benefits

Depends on the regulations IMO. For example recently the ECJ decided a few years, that companies must record all employees' working hours... Quite an unnecessary overhead for many employment relationships 😅 Companies like netflix with a modern work culture would never survive here 😢

Businesses need to be regulated, else they would fuck us all over. If McDonalds could, they'd sell you rotten garbage with enough sugar and salt so you won't notice

even if its not good for specific businesses it can be good regulation. whether or not its good for business should be nowhere in the measurement of if a regulation is good. the economy, yes. businesses, no!

Value is subjective, what you call "value for society" is just your own values.

Hey, as a French, maybe you could kindly satisfy my curiosity about the takeaway situation with this new packaging in France. Are people supposed to return the dishes to get some refund? Or is there some other incentive? I used to study and live in France for several years, but these things didn't exist at the time.

@@liliyafaskhutdinova6532 The new regulation applies to what's consumed on-site (which, in itself, is a real progress already). Not being a regular fast-food consumer, I couldn't tell you what goes on as far as take-away is concerned. However, single-use plastic cutlery bought in supermarkets is banned and has been replaced with wooden, cardboard and metal items. The same appllies to straws: No longer in plastic, but re-usable metal ones (sold with a special little brush for cleaning them inside) and recyclable paper/fine cardboard ones.

@@micade2518 , thank you for your efforts, but that's not really what I wanted to know. What you are talking about is basically what's been happening little by little all over the EU over the years. But the McDo thing is very new to me, so I am actually interested in the takout meals solutions in France (if there are any), which, surprisingly (considering that we are talking about McDonalds here) were not covered in this video.

@@liliyafaskhutdinova6532Well, the regulation applies to all take-away fast food joints. The video shows how "the giant" reacted but, as I'm far from being a "regular" of any of these places, I couldn't help you. I guess you'll have to come and see for yourself then? ;o)

its plastic coated cardboard.

They are a pain to clean tho, I'm glad we don't have the big plastic happy meals

When I was in Korea they also had the plastic cups. I thought then it was because there is a lot less stealing in Korea and it is financially viable

O you should see the cups KFC now uses in the Netherlands. They are fantastic to use. They stack verywell. dishwasher friendly and also just feel nice to drink from.

Just like Sweden 👌 but you have more interesting products in Spain than here 😢 and the quality is also generally better than here

I cant even imagine having NO table service. Even if you dont take one and cashier messes up putting it on tray its still feels good to have an option.

Just like in Germany.

Hi Spain nice to meet you

Table service happen at McDonald’s in Italy too, i imagine it’s a policy they have in all the EU.

Probably has to do with their recent elections. The far-right won and usualy far-right also means anti EU. But i did no research on that.

Italy now has a far-right government. Who knows what they are doing.

The trouble is that not all countries have the same attitude toward food that the French do, and I don't count les pieds-blancs.

​@@CityWhispererI imagine that the Italians have a food culture conducive toward health and waste reduction mandates being unnecessary.
