Weiwei drawing more crowds to McDonald at Taiwan

In Economics, the theory of ‘Consumer surplus’ explains - the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay and the actual price they do pay. If a consumer would be willing to pay more than the current asking price, then they are getting more benefit from the purchased product than they initially paid.  Often in Consumer products or in places likes eateries, a good [looking or otherwise but pleasant servicing] sales person can coerce one into purchasing and can also bring about loyalty to that particular shop or establishment. 

The McDonald's Corporation is the World's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries.
