Bolivians simply don’t trust food prepared in such little time. The
quick and easy, mass production method of fast food actually turns
Bolivians off altogether. Sixty percent of Bolivians are an indigenous
population who generally don’t find it worth their health or money to
step foot in a McDonald’s. Despite its economically friendly fast food
prices, McDonald’s couldn’t coax enough of the indigenous population of
Bolivia to eat their BigMacs, McNuggets or McRibs.
One indigenous woman, Esther Choque, waiting for a bus to arrive outside
a McDonald’s restaurant, said, “The closest I ever came was one day
when a rain shower fell and I climbed the steps to keep dry by the door.
Then they came out and shooed me away. They said I was dirtying the
place. Why would I care if McDonald’s leaves [Bolivia]?”
Fast food chain remained for a decade, despite losses every year
The eight remaining McDonald’s fast food shops that stuck it out in the
Bolivian city’s of La Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, had
reportedly operated on losses every year for a decade. The McDonald’s
franchise had been persistent over that time, flexing its franchise’s
deep pockets to continue business in Bolivia.
