It shouldn't be that way. Differences like that, I mean. One advantage that chain stores (ex.: Walmart) and franchises (ex.: most, if not all, Subway restaurants) are supposed to have is consistency--a person should be able to walk into any two different stores anywhere and have basically the same experience.

I don't know if that makes sense (all stores being the same because of the name). We have a local grocery store (local to Texas and mostly the Austin area) called HEB. They are quite large, but they cater to local communities. There's one that is about 40 minutes away where all the magazines in the checkout are in Spanish. The produce and other products cater to Hispanics (we went down there to get roasted green chile because our store was out. They carry it during the season, but not to the extent of that store. That store also has bulk pinto beans and a fruit that I forget the name of). You can't blame them for selling the populations what they want. There's an Asian community pretty close to that area and we've talked about going in the HEB store there to see if they have more Asian foods. I would expect them to because their regular stores don't have much, and I usually have to go to an Asian store to get nori and curries and the like.
Now as for cleanliness and clean bathrooms ALL stores, same name or not, should have that!!!
