each store is independently owned, there is no way to do what you just said.
True, for McD.
Many brands have corporate-owned stores; some are a blend of corporate and franchise stores.
McD was a bad pick for an example, but that load spreading strategy is used in other industries to dovetail with economic variance in regions across the country — I’m thinking of gas stations, in particular. I expect the dynamic to emerge in other sectors, now, that rely on entry-level, low-skill employees.
