McDonald's to hit Muscovite market
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Fur-hatted Muscovites have been peering for weeks through the construction fence at the piering of arches shimmering in the upper glaze.
A glittering McDonald's is just about ready to open, and it is more than just another Big Mac and fries — although that's a lot in a country of food shortages.
This McDonald's also is a first taste of what Mikhail S. Gorbachev's perestroika can offer. It is capitalism and consumerism in the middle of Moscow. It's Western efficiency, friendly service, a clean, bright lit environment with things that you hasn't offered to many Soviet citizens.
The grand opening is planned for
wednesday, and 18-year-old Oleg
Wilkinson.
The restaurant near Pushkin Square was 14 years in the planning, but Gorbachev's encouragement of warmer East-West relations, foreign investment and modernization made it possible
"We're supposed to smile all the time — people will think we've gone loony!" said Mukhin, one of the 630 people hired to run the restaurant.
They also are being drilled in such strange Western habits as actually greeting customers and saying, "Thank you."
pobble McDonald's, said Mukhin, "is for people to see how it's possible to live."
It may also teach Mukhin something he thought he needed to know for his future.
"Where else can you study capitalism and get paid for it?" he asked. Unlike nearly every other foreign firm that has come to Moscow since the Cold War started warming up, McDonald's will be for Soviet citizens, not just privileged foreigners with hard currency.
"Let's put a sign right here: For Rubles Only," said George Cohn, chairman of McDonald's of Canada and the man behind the 14-year
McDonald's of Canada it said it spent $50 million to enter the Soviet market, building not just a restaurant but its own dairy, bakery, sauce and meat-processing plant to ensure that customers primarily from Soviet sources.
quest, as he stepped through the last-minute sawdust. "Just like the ones they have on the dollar stores say, 'For Foreign Currency Only.'"
Cohen said customers would pay about three rubles — about two hours' pay for an average Soviet worker or a starting McDonald's employee — for a famous "Beeg Mak."

Still, it will be a "real" line in Soviet parlance, a line that moves, as opposed to the dozens that just keep people waiting forever. As the biggest McDonald's in the world, it is designed to serve 1,250 people an hour.
But even the king of the fast-fod-
franchises can't promise Muscovites a quick bite to eat. Police Maj. Gen.
Nikola Myrikov, better known in the
neighborhood for directing roundups
of dissidents on Pushkin Square,
stopped by this week to plan crowd
control for a line expected to stretch
so far that it will take a couple of
hours to get to the door.
For foreign tourists, that's cheap:
about 50 cents at the special tourist
exchange rate, $5 at the official
commercial rate.
The hamburger chain also expects to give hundreds of young people unique experiences in the management techniques of the capitalist West;
Don't ask the customer if he or she wants a large or a small drink, a youthful Soviet crew chief tells his trainees. Say, "Large?" to encourage greater spending, he explained. Everyone learns every job in the store, something that would boggle the mind of the Aeroflot cashier who would be incapable of quoting a price on a flight because her only job was accepting money.
