(Tokyo) region from 28 November.[3] The Quarter Pounder was launched at one McDonald's restaurant in the Kansai (Osaka) region on 23 December 2008.[4] It was later reported that 15,000 customers had visited the restaurant on the first day, generating a record 10.02 million yen in sales for a single restaurant in one day. It was however also revealed that McDonald's had hired 1,000 "extras" to queue up on the first day. McDonald's Japan explained that the hirees were used for "product monitoring purposes".[5] According to Wikipedia (link):
