Y'know, they actually had those self-serve machines in the Jack in the Box where I use to work, but apparently they got rid of them because customers couldn't make super specific orders. Also, it sorta gives the customer the impression that they have to do extra work in order to get their food, and they don't like that.

I suppose it's cheaper and easier to train some loser to do everything at once.

Lol. And these people wonder why robots are replacing them. Actually, do they even? Or do they still believe that "Jews are replacing us with brown people" garbage?

We truly live in a dystopia. Poors are brainwashed into thinking that failure to eat at McDonalds is a betrayal of their class, while managing to blame "the elites" when their dining experience is, shockingly, somehow less than stellar.

Meanwhile the only way normies can interact with an intelligent human being anymore is to go to The Modern or Union Square Cafe where you're not allowed to tip and the waiters all have a 4 year degree.

There's also a good chance they removed what you bought from the menu a long time ago, but because they had the old system and supplies, they continued to provide it to people who ordered. With the new system, they have no way to process such an order, so OH WELL.

Also, if you look RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM, there's a build your own burger option. So you can literally just order a custom burger with only a bun and 2 small patties

in this picture, the double cheeseburger costs 30¢ more, and has an extra slice of cheese.

where i live though(canada), the price difference is much higher, and much more than the cost of adding one slice of cheese. it's a scam to get extra money out of people who don't look at the menu prices and just ask for "a double cheeseburger"

Funny you should mention that. While looking through the menu, I noticed their buttermilk chicken sandwich was grayed out and the words "out of stock" were placed over the picture in red text. I could not find any of their small burgers, however, meaning I was either looking in the wrong place (which is kind of why you'd want to ask for assistance) or it wasn't in the menu, which is weird because it seems like such a commonplace item.

I really like ordering a double cheeseburger with an extra patty and no ketchup, then adding a ketchup packet to my order and putting it on myself

I do that every so often, but because I was coming home from a long day at school, fast food seemed... faster.

I'm not denying that you're right, it's usually just all around better, but that's just not what I decided to do that day.

>>9449520
Nah, I'm 22. Fucking up orders is also the fault of the line worker btw. They make the same thing day in and day out, expected to have 100% accuracy in assembled orders. They do this for years. Sometimes, they slip up and put cheese on the burger I didn't want cheese on. Sometimes the cashier forgets to put that on the order.

And yeah, the kiosk means more work trying to search for the item I want. I'm much slower at ordering what I want than the cashiers who are trained to do it. And besides. I wanted a hamburger. I couldn't find the hamburger. Why stay if I can't find or if they don't serve what I wanted?


>>9449543
The cashier almost never makes the food. If they do, it's their food business and they keep it low staff to maintain a desired level of intimate quality. In situations like that, they have the power to refuse substitutions and custom orders. I don't think that mentality flies in a place like McDonald's.

AND AGAIN, I'LL EXPLAIN IT IN SHORT

Honestly, OP, aside from being mildly autistic about the whole ordeal and then posting about it you didn't do anything wrong.

I posted specifically to see what sort of reaction I'd get. I'm not mad at McDonald's really, and if I decide I want something that isn't a basic hamburger, I'll go back. Maybe for breakfast or something. I hear they brought back baked pies, so that's great news.

I do think the kiosk thing is hit and miss. Examples include:
>They provide you with common addition or substitution suggestions with your order
>They even have different meal options like parfait and salad with your sandwich, which may have always existed, but wasn't explicitly clear that they all cost the same amount
>You can even order amounts of condiment on your sandwich, like 'light mayo.' I always thought they put too much mayo on their chicken sandwiches.
>On the other hand, it took me an extra minute to figure out how to order a lemonade. I still have no idea what I did to change my drink to lemonade...
>WHERE IS THE FUCKING HAMBURGER!? IS IT ACTUALLY GONE OR IS IT TUCKED AWAY IN SOME SUPA SEKRIT FRUGAL PATRICIAN MENU?

You know, stuff like that... Hit and miss... For this to revolutionize the fast food business, they have to come up with more streamlined iterations. Perhaps a voice recognizing AI or something someday? Order to a robot who knows exactly what you're saying.

I think it will be a long time before it really works. You really need to be able to just have cooks in the kitchen making the food and then setting it out for the customer and maybe a FOH attendant or two.

Its kind of silly to have to order from a kiosk then turn right around and go pay a cashier. Its really cuts out very little from the process and probably increase wait time and customer dissatisfaction for very little gain with a small group of people.

Be me:
Hungry have $20 in pocket.
Driving in car, drive past super market, humming should I get a steak! Pass store, a mile away a Burger King, drive though, order 2 burgers and a large drink, bill is $6.75. Drive away. Take out food, rolls are stale, patty Luke warm, drink watered down. I could have purchased Kobi Beef at thos prices per oz. and the fucks give you stale rolls and deluted soda filled with ice. Neva again!

>the impression that they have to do extra work in order to get their food, and they don't like that
Ever since they "upgraded" McD's from a single line service "order-wait-receive" to these bullshit double line service lately, where I have wait in one que in order to order the food and then again in the other one to actually get it, my annoyance level grew.

This just seems like it makes ordering much more complicated. The hell is wrong with just going to the counter and just ordering from there?

that's the right attitude. and IMO places that are actively trying to get rid of human jobs in favor of touch screens or robots should be avoided. these mega corporations continue to reap all the benefits of their position in the world but continually make every effort to give back less, whether it's offering inferior goods/services back in return, evading taxes, paying their employees less than living wages, and NOW trying to completely remove employees from the equation. it's disgusting and a sign of the times we live in where the gap in wealth between the mega rich and everyone else continues to grow, and unsurprisingly autocrats and fascists seeking to protect the interests of the mega rich rise in power

It also is a signal of the lack of human to human interaction that's becoming more and more prevalent in society. Fuck jobs, there is always jobs to be had.

If my local McDonald's had these I would eat there once a week instead of once a month. People are getting dumber at such an alarming rate that I can't handle interacting with anyone.

Went to a mcdonalds in LA that had this with a full menu. You make your order and then take a number to put on your table and then they bring out your food to the table.

Having worked at a McDs, I can assure you that it will only get worse. These things lack most of the options for specific orders that our behind-the-counter ones had. And on another note, about 80% of the time if you get your order and it is wrong, it is the cook's fault. I used to get pissed having to tell the cook "yeah, he doesn't want fucking onions OR ketchup, you put EXTRA of both". Special orders make cooks really mad because they get in a groove making the exact same McDouble a thousand times in a row, so most of the time they don't even pay attention if the ticket says the order is special, the cashier has to actually ensure that they understand. Not to mention, certain things, like "extra pickles", don't add any extra cost on the register, but some cunts will charge you for it anyway.

My general manager told me at one point that it only cost 30 cents to produce a McDouble. The patty + bun + cheese + sauce + tiny diced onions + labor = 30 cents. But they sell a McDouble for like $2.14. And the "higher quality" burgers are barely any better, but are exponentially more expensive.

There aren't many fast food places worse than McDonalds, but Hardee's is one.
