Customers in Japan have been pleasantly surprised by the immediate availability of Happy Meals at McDonald's, as reported in the headline "ハッピーセット 客「すぐ買えた」". This comes after recent events caused significant delays in service, causing customer dissatisfaction. The fast food giant seems to have resolved the issue, delighting customers with their swift service and readily available Happy Meals.
In Japan, customer service and efficiency are highly valued. Therefore, a swift improvement in service at a beloved global brand like McDonald's is not only newsworthy but highly appreciated by customers. This kind of attention to service quality is deeply embedded in Japanese culture and values.
In the US or EU, service speed in fast food restaurants is expected, but is not usually a source of major headlines. However, significant improvements in service, or resolving prominent issues, might get some attention. In general, there is a stronger emphasis on product quality rather than speed of delivery.
