    It’s a little game I play whenever I am abroad to go check out a chain place to see how different it is. Very anecdotal

    7-11 is all over the place. Prices and what they have will vary by country.

    Starbucks is consistent on high end drink items both in price and what they make.

    Dunkin is pretty much the same everywhere except you can’t seem to get drip coffee in some countries.

    MacDonalds is the same with maybe one local item. Kinda cool getting a beer in Germany with some French fries.

      Same. Been to a few places in southeast Asia and Starbucks is pretty much the same everywhere there. So I can step off a street full of stalls selling all sorts of food items that I would class as “extremely adventurous” into a store with recognisable sweet/savoury cafe food options. I can relax in consistently dark-hued wood decor with a consistent assortment of tables/couches/chairs/charging points, and a consistent range of coffee drinks that each have enough calories to sustain a local family for a week.
