1
This is my fake McDonald's that's way busier than an actual McDonald's down the road.
2
And this is the story of how it happened.
3
I was sat on my laptop one day when I received a random email from a stranger that said, Nico, I need your help.
4
I've opened a drive -thru restaurant and we're struggling to get customers.
5
If you could think of a plan to help us, that would be a dream come true.
6
With regards, from Zach.
7
Now, this definitely piqued my interest.
8
So I decided to go down and visit Zach myself in Glasgow, Scotland.
9
So, Zach, why did you contact me?
10
Food is a very, very difficult industry.
11
A lot of costs, a lot of competition, especially the big guys.
12
We've got loads of big branches around here.
13
There's not enough people are trying it yet because we've not got a big name to us.
14
We need to make you the big name.
15
We need to make us the big name.
16
And what's the inspiration behind the name Zachs?
17
I'm Zach.
18
We wanted to make Zachs one of the big dogs, but that was going to be easier said than done.
19
See, while big chains like McDonald's continue to grow every year, 61 % of independently operated restaurants actually closed within their first three years.
20
And I was adamant not to let Zach's suffer the same fate.
21
But at the end of the day, there was nothing I could do for Zach's if their food was meaty.
22
Here we go.
23
Time to try a Zach's burger.
24
That's good collie.
25
Mmm!
26
Tastes the collie.
27
That is very good.
28
The beef comes to us fresh every day.
29
Our butcher is literally two minutes around the corner.
30
The world needs to try this.
31
Help us get it out there, Nico.
32
I know what I need to do.
33
There are many different reasons independent restaurants close down, but one of them is people are reluctant to try new restaurants.
34
But how could we make Zach's drive -thru familiar to the public?
35
By rebranding it for the day to an old idea, we're doing one final time.
36
Actually, let's just change that O to a U.
37
Not McDonals is here!
38
And we'll be giving away free meals all day so everyone can try the amazing food Zax has to offer
39
And then once they've tasted it hopefully they'd be a customer for life meaning Zax would be here to stay
40
So after a serious renovation overnight this beauty was ready for opening day
41
We're just pulling up for the Nut Mcdoodles now.
42
Oh My goodness
43
This was perfect, we'd completely transformed Zach to let everyone know he was in a league of his own.
44
Despite keeping Zach's building, staff and ingredients, we'd entirely reinvented its appearance to completely obliterate the competition.
45
We now had our own logos marked in and most importantly, our very own menu.
46
The big nax is back, the shush burger returns and proudly introducing a brand new product, the shades flurry.
47
But that's not all.
48
We've revamped the happier meals so they all include a stunning pair of shade sunglasses.
49
And all of this is being given away for free.
50
I was buzzing but I needed to know what the man himself thought of all this.
51
Oh Zach, what are we thinking?
52
Oh mate, incredible.
53
This is amazing.
54
What's it like seeing your baby turn into this?
55
It's a dream come true.
56
So today is the day we take down McDonald's for good.
57
Absolutely, let's go.
58
The only issue we have is we have no customers right now and I have the perfect solution for that problem
59
So I'll be right back
60
Seeing as independent restaurants have it
61
so hard I saw it is only fair to attempt to steal customers from the biggest titan of them all
62
McDonald's But as a McDonald's fugitive, I'll be hiding out in this van while George does the sneak in Oh McDonald's we're coming for your customers
63
The ice is starting now.
64
The plan was simple.
65
Deliver a fake booth, customers order, and tell them about Not McDonals.
66
But sometimes things fall apart.
67
Oh, nice.
68
Oh, my God.
69
I nearly...
70
Oh, I did it down to myself.
71
Real to screen.
72
Oh, my God.
73
That's how we do it with McDonals, though, man.
74
Well done, George, man.
75
Everyone, in the comments down below, please comment.
76
George is genuinely Mr. Mission Impossible.
77
But our chaotic heist turned out to be a big success
78
as people were stopping by the booth only never where they were supposed to.
79
Reverse a bit, reverse a bit more, reverse a bit more please.
80
Yeah okay that's great, we can take your order now.
81
Hi, please reverse, reverse a bit.
82
There we go, alright mate what would you like?
83
I've got a code ordered on the app.
84
You've got an order on the app?
85
Yeah I've got a code.
86
What's your code?
87
NT25.
88
741. Sorry, NT25.
89
Okay, 8325.
90
What's the next part of the code?
91
It's NovemberTango25.
92
November, so N -O -V -E -M -B -E -R -T -A -N -G -O.
93
2 -5.
94
So that code's too long.
95
Unfortunately, months don't work in our system.
96
It's a small code.
97
It's not like a long code at all.
98
Somehow McDonald's had found out about our secret mission and even though I tried to stop them
99
Sorry, this guy's actually a fake.
100
I implore you right here
101
They scared away our possible customer, but at least we were well hidden
102
You will not find me.
103
You can't find me mate
104
Hi Hello He's coming
105
You're the last place Huh?
106
He's coming shift us
107
Oh yeah that was us, sorry Sorry Sorry yeah, we'll come shoot him now
108
And we didn't even get the guy
109
Wait, where's the guy?
110
We need to tell him to go to Not McDonnell's at least.
111
Where is he?
112
My friend, sorry.
113
I just want to say we're opening a restaurant called Not McDonnell's down the road, and we're giving away free food.
114
But absolute pleasure to meet you.
115
And yeah, the people here at McDonald's, they don't know what they're talking about.
116
They're stupid.
117
Have a great day.
118
Big up, my friend.
119
Oh, amazing.
120
I've got a customer.
121
Now that Paul Scoles was on his way to our drive -thru, it was time to collect our booth,
122
as the McDonald's managers felt threatened by our clearly better drive -through.
123
It's nothing personal.
124
I just want Knott McDonals to be the biggest restaurant in the world.
125
That's not the way you make more about it, is it?
126
Sometimes you just have to do things in a different way, you know?
127
Nah, I need a good buck.
128
You know, it's done now, but we'll report me in the registration.
129
Please, not the police.
130
All we wanted was to have more customers.
131
Is that a crime?
132
Maybe it's best now we go back.
133
So I headed back to meet the special people who are going to make this crazy idea possible.
134
The Zax employees who've been transformed into not McDonald's soldiers.
135
Guys, we're all here for the same reason.
136
We want Zax to be the greatest drive -through the world has ever seen.
137
And we don't have to worry about McDonald's because we've got our security team.
138
And you guys really have to be on job today.
139
They may be trying to find a way to strike back.
140
So as long as you guys are ready, have you guys got weapons?
141
Oh really?
142
What weapons?
143
Secret.
144
Secret weapons.
145
That's the secret.
146
But it doesn't matter because today we win.
147
Do we believe that
148
Not McDonals can be the greatest drive -thru ever?
149
Yes!
150
Is there anything you want to say, Zach, before we get started?
151
Let's take McDonald's down.
152
Let's do it.
153
Everyone, bring it in.
154
One, two, three.
155
Not McDonals!
156
We were open.
157
Our team were ready to turn this place into the greatest drive -thru ever seen.
158
But we still had no customers.
159
Someone needs to believe in our project.
160
All we need is the first domino.
161
Hello?
162
Hello?
163
Hi, excuse me, we're serving free food.
164
Could you be my first customer?
165
It's just there on the left.
166
Could you wind the window down?
167
Oh no, he thinks I'm going to rob him.
168
Hi, sorry, sorry.
169
Why won't anybody stop for me?
170
This was harder than I thought, but luckily for me, a bit of traffic had formed, meaning people were trapped and couldn't ignore me.
171
Listen, mate, it looks like you've been working very hard and you'd like food,
172
and maybe you'd like to be my first ever customer at my drive -through, which is opened right there.
173
Would you take a chance?
174
Hey!
175
Thank you!
176
It's just here!
177
It's just here!
178
We've got our first customer.
179
Hello, my friend.
180
What's your name?
181
Greg.
182
Welcome to Not Mook Dunaus.
183
It's a free food experience.
184
We believe we have the most quality food there is, so I would really like to see what you think of our experience.
185
Alright, well, come in, Greg.
186
They'll serve you here at the first window.
187
It was a pleasure to meet you.
188
They'll serve you right here
189
Hi, dude, I'm nice to meet you my name's Nicko.
190
All right, what would you like to eat?
191
I would recommend the big knacks burger, but we also have a chicken burger if that's more up the street
192
Um could we get a chicken burger would you like some chips with that?
193
We also get some chips, please someone will be there to give you your food at the next window great nice to meet
194
Nice to meet you.
195
Quick.
196
Go, go, go, go.
197
Back to Jim and T.
198
Sorry.
199
Hi.
200
Nice to meet you.
201
Nice to meet you.
202
Nico, what's your name?
203
Someone should make a chain around your name.
204
That would be great.
205
Deja vu.
206
Ah, deja vu.
207
Ladies and gentlemen, round of applause for Greg, our first ever customer.
208
Could I watch you eat it?
209
Is that weird?
210
If you could pull up for a review and someone will be there to interview over there.
211
Thank you.
212
Thank you so much.
213
Thank you.
214
This was a big moment.
215
I was nervous.
216
I love Zach's food, but that means nothing if the customer doesn't like it.
217
You like it?
218
Yeah.
219
Would you come back?
220
Yeah.
221
Thank you so much.
222
Our first ever customer.
223
Thank you, Greg.
224
Wow.
225
How was it?
226
That went great.
227
He liked it.
228
Maybe Greg will tell all his friends and then we're gonna be packed in five minutes.
229
And I was right as five minutes later along came two of Greg's best friends.
230
They both opted for the happier meal, nuggets, chips and of course a toy.
231
Thanks Nico.
232
Two more happy customers but this was only the start.
233
If we want to be the best drive -thru of all time, we have to pass this important test.
234
I've got a question for you.
235
Yes, of course, of course.
236
Is that better than I got?
237
How about you try it right now?
238
Can I watch you try it or is that a bit weird?
239
It's a bit weird man.
240
I don't like people looking at me.
241
Guys, guys, guys, we all just say please.
242
Please, please, please.
243
Please.
244
Please.
245
Come on, please mate.
246
Yes!
247
The positive feedback about our food kept on delivery.
248
That is great.
249
There you go.
250
Oh my, you look great.
251
The drive -through was gaining popularity, but we were attracting the wrong type of customer.
252
Can I possibly have two happier meals, please?
253
Happier meals? For who?
254
For colleagues at work.
255
How old are these colleagues?
256
Okay, he's definitely kidnapped people.
257
Look at him, yeah?
258
I definitely feel like he's hiding someone in his boot.
259
If we could check, I guarantee he drives off.
260
We've got to check your boot.
261
Thank you.
262
If you could just pull up and then we'll have an interview and check your boot.
263
Stop there, yeah?
264
If you could just stop here, mate.
265
Listen, mate.
266
Yeah, he's a wrong one.
267
There's something wrong with him.
268
Now business is up and running we're gonna be helping Zach grow his business into the biggest in the area
269
Just like Shopify help entrepreneurs grow their businesses when they don't know how to I think someone's here.
270
Orders started rolling in our business was on the way to be a number one
271
With Shopify it'll be easy for you to start your business venture as well.
272
Shopify is a set of tools that power your business whatever it is and I use it for my business shades
273
And that's helped me become the fastest growing sweet brand in the UK.
274
Running a business can be extremely tough.
275
Luckily, Shopify has a helping hand for you.
276
Let me tell you about Shopify's new secret weapon, Sidekick.
277
Sidekick is like having an expert business partner back at Shades HQ there to help whenever I need it.
278
It knows all about my product.
279
Watch this.
280
Sidekick, what's Shades' best -selling product?
281
Let me confirm the all -time best -selling product for you.
282
Here it is.
283
The top product of all time is Shades' straight -up strawberry.
284
That's sick.
285
This is a really useful feature and can be used for promos, sales analysis, strategy, planning and more.
286
So everyone watching right now, go to shopify .com slash Nico to start the business you've been dreaming of.
287
You won't regret it.
288
Now let's go back to serving people.
289
How we doing?
290
We're good?
291
Now business is starting to move a little bit.
292
So we're serious time.
293
It was about time we locked in.
294
That's right, I'm sending the Shades mascot
295
Shady to the streets to advertise for us while I test the team.
296
Business is starting to move.
297
Could I get a big Naxx, please?
298
Of course you can.
299
By the time I reach that window, will it be there?
300
Yeah.
301
Let's find out.
302
Big Naxx!
303
Big Naxx!
304
Big Naxx!
305
Big Naxx!
306
Big Naxx!
307
Thank you very much.
308
Big Naxx, fair enough.
309
Good work, guys!
310
Good work, good work, good work, good work!
311
Shady has started to bring in customers, and before we knew it...
312
We have four cars in our drive -through now.
313
We're packed.
314
This check -in feels really nice.
315
10 -10 mate.
316
That's amazing.
317
It's so good.
318
On the house, on the house.
319
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is what we do at Not McDonald's.
320
We give back.
321
This is difficult.
322
Running the driver is tough.
323
So the employees do all the work and you get sent a hand off, yeah?
324
Cut that out.
325
We were working as a great team and the customers kept on coming.
326
We're almost at those.
327
Well, that's because of you, mate.
328
And we sold our very first Shades Flurry.
329
Can I get
330
Shades Flurry, please?
331
Yeah, is it just everyone or the regular ones?
332
The regular.
333
See, it's good service.
334
You notice that.
335
Just have an honest review.
336
That's the best way to go.
337
OK.
338
So just over there, yeah, someone's going to go with you.
339
Cheers.
340
Thanks.
341
So who's going with him, eh?
342
Oh, yeah.
343
10 out of 10.
344
Well, what did you think?
345
Five stars, oh great, great.
346
Thanks man.
347
The people of Glasgow were loving
348
Not McDoonals so we kept on delivering.
349
We found our rhythm and reached our first 50 orders.
350
And while we were working a bunch of posts were circulating around social media about Not McDoonals.
351
And it wasn't just the customers.
352
Even some news channels were reporting on what we were getting up to.
353
Because of this, we got them much busier, which was great.
354
So with that came security issues.
355
Get them, get them, security.
356
Grab them.
357
No one comes on this drive -thru if they're not in a car.
358
Yeah?
359
Yeah?
360
Hi, guys.
361
How you doing?
362
I respect the fact you guys have got e -bikes.
363
I respect that a lot.
364
Okay.
365
Well, I'm what would you like?
366
I had no choice but to serve them.
367
However, this is still a drive -through
368
So I wasn't gonna be serving anyone on foot.
369
You'd have to be on wheels.
370
One shades Flory, one shades Flory sour, Shush Burger meal and then the hot one of them, he wants the whole menu.
371
Got you.
372
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
373
The queue just kept growing and the customers were becoming restless.
374
Okay, oh my gosh.
375
Oh, what's happening over here?
376
What are you doing?
377
Security's on you next.
378
I'm not afraid to admit that even a veteran like me was struggling with the increased demand.
379
One beef burger, three nuggets.
380
Big time.
381
Two milkshakes and a burger meal, please.
382
Oh, that's too much.
383
Two milkshakes and a burger meal, please.
384
I got a burger and a burger and a burger.
385
Milkshake, three milks, five milkshakes.
386
Brother, come on.
387
Two strawberry, five...
388
How about this, yeah?
389
Know your order before you say it down.
390
If you keep changing it, you're making my job hard.
391
Could we get 11 shush burger meals?
392
This is too many orders for one human.
393
Oh my gosh, how are we going to deal with all these customers?
394
I don't know what else they ordered.
395
Just give it to them, I'm sure they'll work it out.
396
This was all getting a bit much for me.
397
What is going on?
398
I can't take this anymore.
399
I can't take this.
400
It felt like half of Glasgow were in the queue.
401
Everyone is occupied.
402
It's just getting busier and busier outside.
403
I was so happy for Zach.
404
This is exactly what he wanted.
405
Queues and queues of customers.
406
McDonald's was surely gonna be begging for mercy now, but I wasn't gonna give it to them.
407
Foot on the neck!
408
Went to the real McDonald's to see if anyone was still there.
409
And it was a complete ghost town.
410
And I was gonna take all the remaining customers they had.
411
Excuse me guys.
412
Hello.
413
We've got our own drive -through.
414
I'm called Not More Do Now.
415
You shouldn't go in there, are you?
416
I know, I know, but we're trying to get more customers and...
417
Right, we'll take one then.
418
Thank you.
419
You're very welcome.
420
Thank you.
421
I think it's a bit naughty what I'm doing.
422
It is a bit me mature.
423
Yeah.
424
If you get caught, you throw me out.
425
Oh, ho, ho, ho.
426
Sorry, guys.
427
Free food all day and not moved to an ounce down the road.
428
It's a wonder they're letting you give these up.
429
Yeah, they don't.
430
All right, is?
431
Because I'm wearing this similar uniform, they think that I work here.
432
You want to tell them, please?
433
You're not going to tell them?
434
Have you already told them?
435
No. Go, I think if she sees you sitting there, I'm actually going to say, no, you're ugly, something.
436
And me being a policeman, I would know that you look a bit suspicious.
437
Are you a policeman?
438
Yes.
439
I'm not doing anything against the law though.
440
Okay, I've tried to remain undercover.
441
I handed out some more leaflets to soon -to -be -not -McDonough's customers to fully clear this place out.
442
But when we were leaving, a worker with some wise words stopped us.
443
I do, but what would you say when it gets busy in here, what would you do?
444
Keep calm and just...
445
If you're unsure whether you're...
446
Don't rush them, because when we start rushing, that's when we start making mistakes.
447
So don't rush.
448
Don't rush.
449
Just have conviction in what we do.
450
If you're unsure, ask the customer, and the customer's always right.
451
Can I tell you something?
452
What you're doing for us now is priceless.
453
Have good luck.
454
With those wise words from that kind lady, I was ready to head back and inspire the team.
455
And we're back.
456
Oh my gosh.
457
There's even more people here now.
458
Oh gosh.
459
Team talk, guys.
460
Team talk.
461
Guys, I know you've been smashing it so far, but this is a very stressful situation.
462
I spoke to a wise lady and she told me some advice.
463
Number one, don't rush.
464
If you're unsure about something, don't worry.
465
If you've got a question, just ask the customer.
466
We've got to keep our quality.
467
And finally, the customer's always right.
468
So we just got to make sure that they feel good in this experience as well.
469
Everyone bring it in.
470
Three, two, one.
471
I'm liking it.
472
Let's go.
473
With those words of wisdom, we were much more prepared, which was ideal because all day we'd only been serving people in vehicles.
474
But now customers were starting to get weirdly creative.
475
Next.
476
Now, what is happening here?
477
What have you pulled up in a What is it you like?
478
Anything.
479
Hair check in office, please.
480
See, that's conviction, yeah?
481
You've got someone right here who knows what he wants in life, and then you've got you, slewless, in a trolley.
482
Joke bath.
483
What's going on here?
484
Where'd you get this bin from?
485
Did you sell someone's bin?
486
Where'd you get the bin from?
487
Your uncle's house.
488
How far is it down the road?
489
It's like five minutes.
490
OK.
491
All right, say no more.
492
That team talk clearly worked because we were serving so many customers with efficiency.
493
So now I was desperate to chat to Zach.
494
Zach, how does it feel seeing your drive -through this busy?
495
It's very surreal.
496
Are you hopeful that people are going to stick around?
497
I think so.
498
Once they taste the food, they taste the quality, they'll definitely be back.
499
Well, my brother, you've smashed it so far.
500
You smashed it.
501
Absolutely mental.
502
Let's keep it going.
503
We've got to keep it going.
504
We're now doing a express...
505
I was taking orders on the keypad but it became clear that it wouldn't be fast enough.
506
The line was much longer than I'd realised.
507
I mean just look at this insane queue.
508
Just look at it.
509
It's genuine poetic justice as it stretched all the way to McDonald's.
510
We have truly embarrassed them.
511
Even Shady is dancing on their downfall.
512
It was incredible having this many people want to try our food
513
But the demand was beyond our limits
514
We had to find a solution
515
You're probably thinking Nico, what crazy genius plan have you cooked up this time?
516
Well, here it is Give me the burgers, I will give them to the car
517
This was a foolproof master plan
518
Built entirely around my speed Hello!
519
Despite the slow start my food delivery service idea was working perfectly.
520
Hello, I'll be back, I'm getting bags.
521
Fwah.
522
The queue was significantly lowering and customers were still enjoying the food.
523
Beautiful beef burger, double patty.
524
Wow, incredible.
525
Mmm, that is really good.
526
See all that meat?
527
Perfect.
528
I'll come back next week as well.
529
Ten, ten.
530
Ten out of ten.
531
Can't be better.
532
The food is good, the service is good and I love the atmosphere.
533
MDL, MDL, MDL!
534
Felt like I was handing out food forever.
535
I was truly exhausted, but finally I was at the back of the queue on the road.
536
Ah, yeah, yeah, I can't walk anymore.
537
Here you go, guys.
538
Thank you, guys.
539
Enjoy your food.
540
How have we done it?
541
Now the queue had almost completely gone, the team were working hard to finish the final few orders.
542
Let's go.
543
Oh, my gosh.
544
I just want to say thank you so, so much.
545
Thousands of people have tried their food because of you, because of what we've done here.
546
And hopefully it's going to give us a really good start.
547
Thank you.
548
No, thank you, man.
549
Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me help.
550
Yeah.
551
Zach's appreciation meant a lot to me and I had a moment to reflect
552
We'd fed over 1 ,000 people and hopefully these are going to be customers
553
that come back to Zach's again in the future
554
So we know we'd filled their stomachs, but I feel like we filled their hearts as well
555
But it wasn't over just yet.
556
We had one more person to feed.
557
Okay, my friend.
558
You are the last car
559
Okay, what would you like?
560
So two shush burgers?
561
And what drink?
562
Okay, chocolate milkshake.
563
Thank you very much.
564
Your food's waiting
565
Here you go.
566
Enjoy.
567
Oh my gosh.
568
Thank you.
569
Thank you.
570
Have a good day.
571
Oh my gosh.
572
Oh my gosh.
573
We've done it.
574
We've done it.
575
High five.
576
Oh my gosh.
577
Oh guys.
578
Guys, guys, guys.
579
Okay, well done guys, well done, well done.
580
We put the shift in, we made it work.
581
Big up, big up, big up, big up.
582
Smashed it, smashed it, smashed it.
583
After such a long day, I had to talk to the team one final time.
584
Guys, I just want to say, the way this is run, I find so admirable.
585
And I am a specialist in this field, but this is the best time I've ever ran a restaurant.
586
And it's because of the people working in it.
587
So honestly, thank you very much.
588
Thank you.
589
Thank you.
590
And Zach also had something you wanted to tell me.
591
We're gonna bring on the Nikko burger, which is your special.
592
Oh, amazing.
593
And the Shades Plurry is staying on the menu.
594
Thank you, guys.
595
Oh, you're tearing up.
596
I am as well, to be honest, for the good old times.
597
Let's bring it in.
598
But this time, we'll say Zach's.
599
Three, two, one.
600
Zach!
601
Everyone headed home with their heads held high after what we achieved here today.
602
I couldn't help but stick around for a few moments longer.
603
It's been a long time since I opened my first fake McDonald's.
604
And even though every time I've done it, I've enjoyed it, I can safely say this will be the last dance.
605
And I just hope it helps Zach's in the long run.
606
So if you're from Glasgow, there's no need to go to McDonald's because there's a place called Zach's and you'll love it.
607
A few weeks later, I ended up getting an update email from Zach.
608
Hi, Nicole.
609
We just wanted to let you know ever since NotMcDoonals, We've been getting a lot busier.
610
We have so many more regular customers and I'm a lot more hopeful for the future.
611
Kind regards from Zach.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
