     1   Q.   Do you know if it is 10 per cent, 20 per cent?
     2        A.  I doubt it would be that high, no.  No, it would be
     3        smaller than that.  My guesstimate would be that it would
     4        be less than 10 per cent, a smaller per cent.
     5
     6   Q.   Somewhere between 5 and 10 per cent?
     7        A.  It could even be less than that.  It is not
     8        significant, but there is a percentage of business that
     9        does go out the door.

    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  While Mr. Morris is thinking, is it unusual
    12        then in the States, or not very typical, for someone to
    13        come in, buy at the counter, and walk out of the restaurant
    14        but not into a car, just wander off into the street with
    15        their ---
    16        A.  That does -----
    17
    18   Q.  --  package food?
    19        A.  Yes.  My Lord, it depends upon the location of
    20        restaurant.  Some of our restaurants are located on the
    21        periphery of residential areas where there are apartment
    22        buildings, condominiums, directly behind or adjacent to our
    23        facility.
    24
    25   Q.   Or there is a park?
    26        A.  A park.  You would have more walk-away trade.
    27
    28   Q.   It depends where you are?
    29        A.  Exactly.

    31   MS. STEEL:  I do not know whether you have a copy of your
    32        statement to hand, I think it is in yellow bundle 1.  It
    33        should be tab 2, I think, or it might be tab 3.  I am not
    34        sure what tab it is.
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They are at tabs 1, 2 and 3, but 3 is a very
    37        short statement of one page.  The main statement is tab 2.
    38        Tab 3 is the short statement saying:  "Shortly why
    39        McDonald's brought the suit", and secondly Ray Kroc and
    40        environment/index.html">litter.
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   It is the first statement that I wanted to ask
    43        about.  In paragraph 6 you said "As" -- it is about
    44        halfway through the paragraph, in fact possibly two-thirds
    45        of the way through --
    46
    47        "As an area supervisor I had direct responsibility for
    48        seven company restaurants and my job to ensure these
    49        restaurants met their sales and profit goals, were properly
    50        staffed, efficiently run, and that the crew members and 
    51        management team were being trained properly and were 
    52        content".  Can you just explain how you did that, how you 
    53        carried all that out?
    54        A.  As a supervisor, basically I worked with the store
    55        management in making sure that the restaurants were staffed
    56        appropriately for the anticipated volume of business, and,
    57        on numerous occasions, I would spend time in the restaurant
    58        with members of management, observe the training of crew
    59        people, sometimes participate in that training, on occasion
    60        I would sit in on crew meetings, or participate in crew
