i went to canada and ate mcdonalds inside a fucking walmart
it was surreal to me because shouldnt they use walmart products to make the food to increase sales of the products
btw breakfast burritos from mcds are fucking dire

In the US there are small fast food places, Starbucks, even bank branches inside Safeway and other large grocery stores

>>19262085
>newest trend
hot dog stands outside of hardware stores have been a thing for a long time

>>19262118
oh we have them in the uk aswell but theyre at gas stations and other small shopping hubs outside of towns
i was just really surprised because walmart is what we call asda and they use asda products in the cafe. unless walmart is owned by mcdonalds?

>>19262118
There are starbucks in safeways in Canada too

>>19262098
Here in california at least Starbucks' being in places like Target (a general store like walmart) and bookstores like barnes and noble is very common. Not that there's many bookstores left but that's a different problem. Never seen a mcD's in a walmart though.

Right?

My local HDs all have really good sausages.

coffee stores are completely fine i totally get that, having a coffee either before after shopping is nice (i go on shopping trips with my mother and drink a coffee from the cake bar) but i saw this in canada. just a bizarre idea from all viewpoints in my opinion

I think the logic is:
no one would trust a Walmart employee to make edible food, so let's just outsource our in-store cafe and take a small profit from rental fees and revenue sharing

Home Depot used to have a low-end chain burger place bridging the two entrances. It did give an excuse to go there and walk around.

It'a not a stand though. They're using too much power (outside TV, fountain drink machine) not to be attached to the store. Could be owned by whoever's operating the location.

>the newest trend
been a thing in Australia for 20 years now
modern companies cant come up with ideas on their own so they just copy what other companies do

A lot of the specialty services in walmart are outsourced. The photo place, the optician, the nail salon. So yeah, Walmarts (when they opened across Canada) all used to have a Mcdonalds location inside. Some have closed down. A few have converted to Burger Kings.

>>19262265
>>19262154
interestingly the walmart near me has both a Burger King and a hot food counter and deli
>there is a tiering of wage slaves in which department store associates are definitively ranked below fast food wagies
okay

They used to have these in the 90s. They're bringing them back becaue of all the mexicans.

my old home depot used to have a harvey's connected to it. This is an old trend they're bringing back.

Philly?
I really love a home depo sausage. No homo.

>>19262154
Most booted McD's when it was unpopular and unhealthy and replaced them with Subways all over the West.

>>19262311
So its like an ikea cafeteria for a hardware store? Sounds cool.

>>19262085
DO NOT EAT THE HOME DEPOT OYSTER ROCKEFELLER

>>19262085
Used to have that here. It was a middle aged white guy with a mustache and he served crap like gas station mcribs. Tired looking for him a few yers ago and it was replaced by a taco truck.
