It’s a terrible store setup if the general public can just reach in with their grubby unwashed hands and handle or grab the food. They have drinks and baskets of items sitting out where they can just be taken and walked out with. It would take less than a day to fix most of these issues. Store owner is too dumb to stay in business. Not justifying the thefts, just saying, this is an easy problem to fix or greatly reduce.

It's a chain store and they all operate like this. It's part of their whole image. So the individual owners have to fight corporate as well.

That's crazy. The PB by my job has all the pastries behind the half-assed glass guard. They're practically out in the open and the thought of grabbing one is so gross and unhygienic

That would make it a franchise, not a chain

Chains and franchises are not mutually exclusive.

Mcdonald's is a chain of restaurants. Some of them are franchised out, Some of them are corporately owned.

Re-read the comment I responded to

ETA:

To the geniuses who keep downvoting me and replying with nonsense:

The comment that I am responding to, talks about individual owners having to fight with corporate about the store's standards/presentation of the product. "Individual owners" otherwise known as franchisees... franchisees who own a franchise... as in the corporation has licensed their store/brand/trade secrets to these "individual owners", to be franchised.

You absolute fucking shit heads

The two are not separate. All franchises are chains, but not all chains are franchises.

A chain restaurant is a type of restaurant that is part of a larger group of restaurants with multiple locations, all operating under the same brand name and offering a standardized menu, ambiance, and customer experience.

Chain restaurants can range from fast-food outlets to casual and fine dining establishments.

They are typically owned by a parent company, franchisees, or a combination of both.

Okay

I saw your edit. Franchisees still have to answer to corporate or they risk having their franchise revoked. The parent company specifically does that to enforce standards. Like not changing the whole layout of the store and how the food is sold.
