Fast Food Insights and Green Market Realizations

 
While getting insight on both place, a McDonalds and a Green Market, I realized some important things. Of these things would be the differences between a fast food place and a green market. Firstly McDonalds was very adult oriented although McDonalds used to be child oriented. It has a modern look to it and it plays Light F.M radio, like a Starbucks that sells burgers. The people buying food here were obviously in no rush even though it was working hours. They workers looked miserable, like if someone ordered another burger they would hop over the front counter and drop kick them. Which is in contrast to what they said when I spoke to them. I asked if the work place was upbeat and friendly and the lady I asked said yes although you could see she was lying.

  This was very different from the Green Market. In the Green Market for the most part it was a very happy environment. People where smiling and enjoyed selling the products they had and when I spoke the vendors of a milk stand there was no rush for me to buy anything and our conversation was one of that between a friend. Its outside which is a pro or con, pro because on nice days (Like the day I went) just like an upbeat painting makes the viewer feel upbeat so does a good sunny day. The con is on a rainy day or snowy day I don’t think business would flourish. Although it was mostly filled with adults there were parents with their kids. In conclusion most stands had a good vibe.

  Although the McDonalds was not as impressive as the green market it still made more business. The reasons for this though is clear, most people when faced with a choice between quantity or quality for food most people will pick quantity. Due to the fact that McDonalds can give you more for your dollar people would pick this place over the green market. Which make me wonder if the green market had a dollar menu would it make more business?...
