So...are these terminals to order are another way they cut back on paying jobs? Lovely :idc:

And No....I do not love McDonald's .. I love real food that I can digest

I feel like this thread is taking the piss tbh :suspect:

[Marsh.]

You're about two years behind. I've seen those self service terminals at Maccies for ages.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes they go into the more working class areas first as people there eat a lot more fast food

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

yeah

[Shaun]

The two different ones I've seen them in (Reading and Torquay) have both these and two regular tills, doesn't seem to be any fewer staff that I've noticed but just dividing up the front of the store to be "ordering" and "receiving order" rather than the confusing mess it was beforehand

It costs each one a big investment
nothing is Free.


So some in Scotland

Erm, don't get at me because you don't have modern transportation in your village. :nono:

That's good but i like the Mc bacon roll with the hash brown.Put the hash brown in the bacon roll as it's ironically exactly the right shape and you've got the sandwich of the gods.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I love a big mac meal

[Amy Jade]

In Malia they have KFC versions on these but the food comes from a metal slot like in prison nobody serves after about 12pm its just people behind the metal shutters calling numbers out and you take the food :laugh:

[Headie]

Yeah it's like that in the one I work at, has been for over a year now. I prefer the till tho if I'm honest :laugh:

[thesheriff443]

If you don't like it don't eat it, it is what it is.

[Babayaro.]

I go far too much. I need to like stop

[BBfanUSA]

Come to America and try Wendy's then we can talk. :idc:

[bots]

[Mokka]

Lol...my friend said the other day ...that he had given up on all fast food...then he discovered the "Baconator" :laugh:

Oh...and their frosty :flutter:

[Lostie!]

It comes with chilli sauce (or mayo if you get the non-spicy version) so I don't really get that but to each their own. I love it so I'll be fuming if they ever discontinue it.

I read a good article about how (in America anyway) McDonald's is good for communities.


On the morning of their wedding, Omar and Betty shared a breakfast of egg McMuffins at a small McDonald’s table, dressed in their finest clothes. Before driving to a Houston courthouse to be married, they walked into the attached child’s play area and joked about one day bringing their kids there.

Few understand celebrating at a McDonald’s, but for Omar and Betty it made sense. They don’t have a lot of money, and McDonald’s is part of their life. It is that way in many poor and middle-income neighborhoods, where McDonald’s have become de-facto community centers and reflections of the surrounding neighborhood.

When many lower-income Americans are feeling isolated by the deadening uniformity of things, by the emptiness of many jobs, by the media, they still yearn for physical social networks. They are not doing this by going to government-run community service centers. They are not always doing this by utilizing the endless array of well-intentioned not-for-profit outreach programs. They are doing this on their own, organically across the country, in McDonald’s.


Walk into any McDonald’s in the morning and you will find a group of mostly retired people clustering in a corner, drinking coffee, eating and talking. They are drawn to the McDonald’s because it has inexpensive good coffee, clean bathrooms, space to sprawl. Unlike community centers, it is also free of bureaucracy.

Almost all of them name their group with variations of a self-deprecating theme: in suburban El Paso it is the Old Folks’ Home, and in rural New Mexico it is the Morning Brigade. In the small rural town of Natchitoches, Louisiana, it is the Romeo club, an acronym for Retired Old Men Eating Out.

The Natchitoches group, like many of them, sprawls across a corner of the McDonald’s, taking over more and more tables as people join, and emptying them as they leave. Everyone who comes knows each other; have for many years, some since childhood.

Willard Jones, 93, tries to make it a few days a week. “I love McDonald’s. People are so nice. My friends come here. I see everybody. Coffee is good, and cheap.” He was born and raised here. “I had it real rough growing up, because times were real rough. Lived on a plantation, modern day slavery. When I was a kid, we used to get a special treat a few times a year, and go eat in town. That place was dirty and cost us a lot. Not like McDonald’s. It is clean here.”.....

Yeah but even with the chilli sauce the patty itself is still very dry. I don't want them to discontinue it but it would be nice if they had more veggie options.

[Crimson Dynamo]

To be honest Josy I dont think you should have tried to do that


:umm2:

[LukeB]

I have not been mcdonalds since last year. Their food isn't that nice anymore

[ArgyESC]

I totally agree.

[Will.]

Can you still order them plain through the screens?

More jobs at risk to technology :idc:

[Headie]

More jobs at risk to technology :idc:

Not really, it frees up staff being on the till so means more in the kitchen, and a faster service :shrug:

[Crimson Dynamo]

More jobs at risk to technology :idc:

more punters and more stores = more jobs


also more jobs for the people making the terminals

:thumbs:
