McD's app and kiosk
All these people standing in line to order who don't use their phones or the kiosk. Cultural change is slow.

- If the minimum wage kept up with inflation the minimum wage would now be close to $25/hour. Not sure why you think auto workers who make something like $50/hour to put a bolt on a wheel are entitled to more money than those folks trusted with the safety of the food you eat.
- Well before long, you won't have anywhere to shop.
$15 min wage for these types of jobs is ridiculous. Flipping burgers @ McD's is not a job intended for someone to raise a family on! It's a job for high-schoolers or retirees, looking for a side job to make a few extra $$$$.
When the price of a big mac hits $12, the crazies will begin pushing for a $25/hr min wage! It will just self perpetuate from there.wa8yxm wrote:
I know McD's is not the best paying job in the usa but when they replace workers with computers I stop shopping there. That simple.

It's business 101, reduce overhead. The kiosks and app help to reduce order errors.
If the kiosks allow them to keep operating costs and therefore prices down, they kind of are “paying” everyone to replace their order takers.
This isn't just McDs. Pizza places all have online ordering. You don't need to call a human or go there.wa8yxm wrote:

I remember way back when...
Every large business had need of receptionist, typists, secretaries, mail clerks.
All of these offered great openings for advancement.
All gone now, mostly replaced by computers.
Some of the best corporate leaders came from the lowest ranks.

They aren't paying me to replace their order takers so I'll stick with the "Old School" way of ordering via a live human.

Like everything else we hated when the change happened, I suspect you are going to have to learn to live with it or do something else at some point in the near future. There will be 4 kiosks and 1 cashier. The cashier will also be fixing the coffee and drinks for the folks who ordered at the kiosk so it might take awhile to get your order placed.
I don't like it and I don't "currently" use it on a regular basis but I DO use it when I walk in and there are 10 folks ahead of me! I even used the phone app to order my meal while sitting at a table so I didn't have to wait in line. I was eating before the guy at the end of the line placed his order.
We are currently full time hosting,so as we arrive at a new campground, we scope out the local burger place. FAR better burgers and help support the local economy!!- I know McD's is not the best paying job in the usa but when they replace workers with computers I stop shopping there. That simple.
