A McDonald’s Ethnography McDonald’s, home of the “Golden Arches”. At first glance, it’s just another one of the many fast food restaurants that clutter our highways. But, a closer look at the legendary fast food chain will yield so much more than a typical eatery. There aren’t too many places that you can feed a family of four for fewer than fifteen bucks. Granted, the food is a bit unhealthy, cheeseburgers, french-fries, onion rings, triple thick milkshakes (this is just a small part of the menu) will kill the recommended 2000 calories a day. But, for food cooked under 10 minutes, what else is to be expected' Still, as much as American’s strived to eat healthy, McDonald’s still boasts “Over 1 Billion Served”. The colorful booths, play areas, and plants all screams scream dine-in! However, the freezing cold-air in the summer time and the less than comfortable temperature in the winter, all say otherwise. Which, in fact is much like how people in American culture behave. Our warm smiles and “Howya doin’s'” all seem inviting. However, if you ever tried to actually tell someone how you were really doing (other than “fine”), you quickly learn that this is merely a façade.
