    I personally HATE those places where you walk inside and you need to use the stupid touchscreen. I’ve asked someone to take my order, they say no. So I get in the car and go to the drive through where you still get a person taking your order.

        Not the OP but for me it takes like 4 times longer to use the tuch screen. Find the button for what i want. Do you want to super-sized? Do you want fries with that? How are you paying today? Blah blah blah whereas with the counter its me saying one sentence and them pushing 2 buttons.

          Maybe stand a foot further apart from the screen? That way you’ll be able to see the button better.

          What you hate about it are the constant upsell shenanigans, not the touchscreen per se. I dislike those, too, but I reckon the human staff are also trying to sell more than you want?

          That makes sense to me - if you had the choice between using a touch screen to place an order immediately or waiting in line behind 4 other people though, would you use the touchscreen then? Again, just curious, I’m not trying to make out that you’re ordering McDonalds wrong ;P

            If there are 4 people in line for a cashier, take away the cashier and you still have 4 people in line waiting for the kiosk… And it will take longer because ordering from the kiosk is a slow process.

            Ooof not sure why you got downvoted.

            I’m starting to think people who hate ordering from a touchscreen really see talking to a cashier as fulfilling social needs.

        He’s looking to chat up some young ladies before he has to go back home to the old ball’n’chain…
