McD's in Quartzsite

How come Americans don't call it Maccas like us Aussies do?

Clearly it's somewhat clientele related, and how committed the company is in making it a success. I made several visits to a totally renovated Panera this winter. They now have 4 or 5 touchscreens located as you walk in the door, and every time I was there the touchscreens were heavily used, and most registers were empty. OTOH, I also made many trips to McDonalds during that timeframe, and I saw either unused, or non-functional kiosks, with signs indicating that they were out of order.

Oddly enough, the large, successful Wawa chain of convienence stores, located in the northeast and Florida, switched to 100% touchscreen ordering SIXTEEN years ago.

Yay technology!

They have never used all the available registers in all the years I have visited that location. During the RV/Rock rallies there are lines to the far entry door and still only using 1 or 2 registers. Phone and kiosk's are the answer.
As an alternative I would use the drive-thru and then park and go inside to eat and refill.

Good to know issues/problems prior to deciding on a Big Mac.

The two registers probably weren't working to force people to use the kiosks and phone order like you did. If they're successful they can get rid of a couple more workers.

And then they can lower their prices because they've lowered their overhead. And this Monday pigs will fly.
