Get ready, Vietnam's Restaurants Open To 100% Foreign Ownership!

Now is the time for international chains to position themselves. Beginning in January 2015, Vietnam's restaurant business is open to 100 percent foreign ownership. Foreign-invested enterprises (“FIE”) may run their own production and internal logistics network free from limitations. The dreaded Economic Needs Test (“ENT”), still required for large retail stores, may not affect restaurant outlets. Like them or not, the legal conditions required for mass-produced fast food will soon be in place. A shakeup may also occur among already-established restaurants with apparently foreign management. Expect to see international chains, which have been waiting for “100 percent ownership” and full control, to flock to Vietnam.

Fast-Food Blondes

The following sign was posted at a fast-food restaurant owned by two blondes:

Parking for drive-through customers only!


How  to have fun at a McDonald's drive-thru

Stand close to the speaker and yell your order, using
colorful expletives in ways which would embarrass the
patrons inside.

Drive through backwards.

After ordering, cover the speaker and mike with transparent
tape. Watch as customers and order-takers are unable to
hear each other and, thus, each raises his/her volume.

Barter. Offer a Whopper for a Big Mac.

Walk through.

Speak a foreign language (make one up if you have to).
When the manager comes to the mike, speak English and
inquire as to why the order taker had such difficulty
understanding you.

Repeat everything the order taker says.

Attempt to take the order-takers order ("Hi, may I take
your order?") before they get a chance to take yours.

Order confusing items, i.e., "Hi, I'll have a large orange
Coke and a small medium fries, please".

In a crowded drive-thru line, place a HUGE order, then slip
out of line and watch the fun as the person behind you is
handed 40 bags of food.

When you arrive at the window to pick up your food, hand
them several bags of garbage & ask if they'll dispose of
it for you. Make sure it smells.

Drive through with a carload of naked people.

Speak in such a garbled fashion that the order-taker will
think there is a problem with the speaker and ask you to
order at the window. When you arrive at the window, speak
in the same garbled, incomprehensible fashion.

Bring along a Mr. Microphone. When the order-taker speaks,
aim the mike at their speaker but do so while aiming the
Mr. Microphone speaker at the mike to produce excruciating
feedback of their own voice.

Have a friend hide in the trunk. When you approach the
window to pickup your order, have him start yelling and
banging his fists on the trunk.

If you are a male, have a female friend place the order by
speaking VERY seductively and suggestively into the speaker.
When she finishes, have her hide and pull up to accept your
order. See how many of the order-takers fellow employees
have been called over to the window to "check out the babe".

There was a thing back in the 80's before CB radios lost popularity.
The local boys would park near the drive throughs' and tune in to the frequency of the headset of the drive through operator and change the order.
When the customer drove up to get their order,they found that there were a lot of extra items on the bill.
Not your average run of the mill CB's mind you.These guys were amateur radio enthusiasts.
Nowadays that would be a prison sentence.

Back to blue's topic.
It's an unnatural disaster.
A global disaster.Fast food(as in western,ie AMERICAN fast food) destroys the family unit.
It disrupts and destroys the tradition of the Mom and Pop restaurants that are such a great part of VN culture.
It destroys the family unit.No more daily meal preparations at home.No more daily family get togethers at the dinner table.

And of course there's the hidden health issue!!
VN Gov will soon increase the tax on smokes and alcohol for health reasons. OOhhhh,drinking and smoking is bad.
So,what about the health implications of fast food on a Vietnamese body?????
Different folk have different metabolisms and different food tolerances.
