    Except you don’t understand that the franchisee and their employees directly represent the brand

    This company obviously gives zero fucks about their brand.

    they granted access to their brand to that individual so their are still on the hook for their actions

    No they’re not.

      I really suggest you back that up with sources because even JollyBee in the Philippines knows how bad of a fuck up a random employee can be to the entire brand, especially when going into a international market.

      Just Google jollybee fried towel and tell me that didn’t absolutely fuck the brand up.

        …what kind of sources? The source is John Deere repeatedly fucking over their own consumers.
