McDonald's Says Goodbye Cashiers, Hello Kiosks

[Jamesiv1]

MickeyD's close to me has them. They also have a couple cashier-types hovering around the kiosks to assist. I don't like them either.... call me old school.

Calm down.

[MENTION=7656]donnay[/MENTION], do something.

I spied this mug in one of her pictures of frilly girly stuff.

I hate these $#@!ing things and will not use them.

I also hate this new trend of table top devices, that dun you with noise, ads and games, have a camera and microphone that god only knows who is watching and listening, and then make you finger $#@! the fool thing to pay.

$#@! that, I pay top dollar to have a good meal with good service and that includes taking my order and handling the bill and not shoving surveillance literally, right in my face.

Maybe that's a blessing is disguise. Now if only Burger King and other nasty fast food places install these, it really will be a blessing.

Besides be careful of McDonald's salads, I hear lots of people getting sick from them.

LOL, I do have that mug. My kids got it for me because they think I have ADHD.

I hate them and will use them. I scan everything I can do myself and then I just keep hitting the call for assistance button until someone comes to ring up the rest of my crap. I refuse to scan loose vegetables. The person who shows up tries to shoe me how and I tell them I don't want to know because I don't work here.

On that note...

We've had them for years at several of their places around here. Used one of them once. I prefer a cashier doing the work for me, call me lazy..

By the way, they still try to call it a restaurant, so I should get some kind of service, don't I ?

yep, they brought the food to my table.

No healthy food at Mickey D?

I guess Minimum Wage is too expensive for the company to afford and still make a profit? Oh well, it seems to solve the problem of Livable Wage by rejecting all humans and also takes care of the problem of companies that exploit people with Minimum Wage being subsidized by govt thru Welfare...

I think that's only part of the problem. My crazy ass niece is a manager at our McDonalds and I asked her if they specifically hired "special" people. She said they don't and the people there aren't technically "special", they're just plain ol dumbasses. I haven't eaten there in years but I do stop in occasionally to see her and it's painful listening to people trying give their order to these nutters.

I think it also has to do with the quality of people they get. Our McD's starts at over minimum wage. If I remember correctly, she said they start at 10.00 an hour and if you act like you have some sense they promote you quickly. She only worked there a month before she was a manager. BTW, she's very smart - crazy as hell but smart.

All these people needlessly losing their jobs. We should put a tariff on kiosks.

Contamination problem: McDonald's tainted salads have now sickened 163 people in 10 states - https://www.usatoday.com/story/mone...e-cyclospora-parasite-fecal-matter/806682002/

July 20, 2018

The number of people sickened by tainted McDonald's salads has jumped to 163 in 10 states. Three of the victims have been hospitalized.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the problem is caused by the Cyclospora parasite that is transmitted in foods contaminated with fecal matter.

Last week, the number of cases was 61 people in seven states – 29 in Illinois, 16 in Iowa, seven in Missouri, three in Minnesota and two each in Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

An updated state-by-state breakdown wasn't immediately available.

Do they let Injuns in?

Do they let Injuns in?

They have no beer , buffalo burgers or firewater . Maybe none want in.

 

[specsaregood]

yeah, but kiosks can't pummel somebody for trying to steal some soda.

 

[Schifference]

Kiosks will probably be linked to computer operated robots that will fill your free water for you. Soda refills will be acquired by simply revisiting the kiosk and rescanning your receipt.

 

[euphemia]

How many kiosks have been assaulted by customers?

How could you not like the food and germ encrusted "Ziosk" taking up space on your table while eating your mediocre meal at Chili's?
