Mcdonald's Deviant Behavior

187 Words1 Page

I performed this behavior firstly by ordering the whopper and continually insisting that they had it and I had ordered it there before. I choose this behavior because I was very curious to how the staff and other customers would react.

This is very unusual and opposing to the franchise, Mcdonalds because I ordered a item of one of their biggest competitors. In many ways it’s also breaking the obvious norms because Mcdonald 's likes to name
