The story of Ray Kroc, a salesman who turned two brothers' innovative fast food eatery, McDonald's, into one of the biggest restaurant businesses in the world with a combination of ambition, persistence, and ruthlessness.
It was okay. I love McDonald's but I never knew how jerky the founder was. Honestly don't even understand how he ca be called the founder when he didn't even start the business. Two brothers did. All he did was spread it across the country and told people he started it. That was a real jerky move. It makes me want to not support his business and I love McDonald's. The brothers should have gotten the credit or at least some credit. Even when they told him no he did his own thing anyway. Also the way he was flirting with someone else's wife was a pretty awful move especially when he had his own wife. She tried so hard to support him and he was a bit nasty to her. I believe the real founders are the people who opened the first restaurant which was Maurice and Richard McDonald. Without them Ray wouldn't have been able to do what he did in the first place yet it didn't look like he treated them fairly. They couldn't even use their name on anything they did after because he bought the name. Yet it's their last name on every building across the states and possibly around the world. All they wanted were six milkshake mixers. Why was that so hard?
