-That having been said, if we give them a chance to work out their bugs, it's possible that they will be able to get their act in gear as well
If you've been inside a KFC recently for breakfast you'll find that soy milk, around 12 oz., is RMB 5.5...I only know this because I thought it might be good and tried it. It was very average. Every street corner you can find some guy selling soy milk every morning for RMB 1. This is the most overpriced item on their menu. They also sell "you tiao" (fried dough sticks) for RMB 3 when other places sell then for RMB 0.5-1.5. It's probably why I've never seen a KFC packed for breakfast.
Also,
moondog, I'm curious as to what you won from the bet.
i'mlovin'it-I realize this probably isn't the place to ask this, but if I wanted to work for McD China's corporate office how would I go about doing that? English is my native tongue but I'm fluent in Mandarin since I was born in China. I'm graduating with a BSM in finance this may. I'm uncertain as to whether or not you know mandarin, but here's the link of a BTV cooking show I filmed last month:

I come in around the 10:00 mark. I'm the big guy with glasses.
It shouldn't be hard to spot me.
