McDonald's (East and West Cybersland)

1982-1984


McDonald's of The Cyberslands (often shortened to McDonald's) is the East and West Cyberslandian branch of the fast food restaurant chain. Operated by CyberBurger Restaurants, Inc. and licensed by McDonald's Corporation, it is the largest fast-food chain in both Cyberslands with a 90% market share. The company sells hamburgers, chicken nuggets, French fries and soft drinks in branches across the Cyberslands. The first Cyberslandian McDonald's opened in in October 1982. Due to a controversy over the fast-food restaurant chain Hungry Jack's, McDonald's didn't open a location in both Cyberslands until said month in 1982. The first branch was (and still is) located next door to the Beach Souvenir Shop of Beach Klaxon in Beach Klaxon, West Cybersland. In the wake of a controversy over importing French fries to the Cyberslands, McDonald's Coporation had CyberBurger Restaurants, Inc. build a plant to manufacture french fry ingreidents in the Cyberslands at a cost of $5 million US. Some branches are kosher, because of the large Hebrew population in the region of New Tel Aviv, West Cybersland.

In 1994, the Tau/Cybersland Border Junction Station branch aroused controversy when the restaurant installed a McDonald's sign in front of TNR #29 (the first EMD SD40-2 to arrive in Tau, in 1980). Bereaved families and railroad historians claimed this blocked the famous SD40-2. The sign was later moved to the parking lot of said train station.

In 1997, McDonald's opened its long-awaited branch in the city of Neuvo Alanta, West Cybersland. The restaurant was near the border with New Alanta, Tau, and Little Atlanta, Tau, northeast of Tiggle-town, and the menu was bilingual, in English, Hungarian, Russian, and Polish.

In 1998, McDonald's decided to barbecue burgers on experimental coke-powered fryers instead of regular fryers. This represented a shift in McDonald's policy, which previously required uniformity at all the locations. In the wake of this decision, coke-powered frying equipment was installed at the restaurants.

In 2004, the company was criticized for ordering its Polish, Hungarian, Punjabi, Dutch, and Russian-speaking staff to speak only English during work hours, to "prevent uncomfortable situations for workers and clients who mostly speak English," but the order was subsequently withdrawn.

In 2006, the international chain's trademark yellow and red signs were replaced at two branches in Blackstone, New Tel Aviv, West Cybersland with blue and white signs with the word "kosher" in order to avoid confusion over which branches were kosher. This redesign is the most radical departure from McDonald's standard logo although they have made minor changes in places such as the North South Coastal Pole Biological Marine Site (which requires signs in gold for snowstorm protection) and Bluthburg, West Cybersland (which requires sign colors to be darker) to meet local regulations.

In October 2005, the chain licensed Texas Chicken menu items after Texas Chicken closed its 10 locations in both Cyberslands due to lack of sales and competition from KFC.

Currently McDonald's has 45,000 restaurants in the Cyberslands. During Passover, McDonalds restaurnats in the Cybersland serve the meat on Passover buns.

Kosher branches serve milk products in a separate section of the restaurant.

McDonald's in the Cyberslands sources over 80% of its ingredients locally. This includes regular and kosher beef patties, potatoes, lettuce, buns and milkshake mix.
