The Bean Queens--M.C

In my opinion McDonald's is pretty much in every average person's vocabulary. Most every town you drive through, even the smallest of towns usually has a McDonald's. Think for a moment, what first comes to mind when you say the word McDonald's? If you answered a Big Mac, Whopper, ice cream, hamburgers or even chicken nuggets that's pretty much what most people think of, but not Danielle Paris and Sofia Therios.

Paris and Therios are not your everyday woman, at the ages of 45 and 49 they are part of the fantastic team that made McCafΘ possible. For years McDonald's offered hot coffee at breakfast but they never had an option of coffee during the day, Paris and Therios as well as the rest of the team were determined to make that happen. When early taste testing took place, many people didn't quite know what a latte or even a cappuccino was. To Paris and Therios it didn't matter if their customers knew the names of the drinks or even how to order them, all they really cared about was a healthy relationship with customers so no matter how old or how young they would feel comfortable with something new.

In some ways, you could say introducing the McCafe to McDonald's all over the world was a good thing. For instance many coffee lovers were thrilled when they realized they could get coffee 24/7 at McDonald's but do people really need the extra calories when the obesity rates are already at a high rate all over the world? Introducing McCafe to McDonald's was a positive event for some people, and a negative on others, and even to people who never took a sip of coffee in their lifetime, this matter didn't have a negative or a positive impact on their daily lives.
