How does Mc Donalds and others run their franchisee and get away with these ?
Franchisees do not have their own websites (its run by mcd). They have uniforms, clear checklists for employees of franchisees and most of the other points that is mentioned here.
Because the law for individuals and companies is different. In this case, the franchised companies are companies in their own right, and they have employees. Franchised companies usually (?) have a licensing contract with the mothership, not an ownership arrangement. MCD does not 'contract' the franchise employees - that would be trouble. In the redditor's case, that's exactly what he does, down to giving them uniforms.
