It's cool because I can get my quarter pounder now without ever having to talk to another human being I'm glad modern technology is making living with crippling social anxiety easier |

Oh I hate these things every time I've used them (just the once I admit) I had to stand around like a loving fool waiting for what seemed like forever while the helmets who were supposed to be taking notice of these orders clearly did the exact opposite of taking notice. |

Robo Ronalds finger elements switch to scalpel and tweezers mode. The shiny metal implements carve a tiny portion from the burger. The scale now reads 0.25000 lbs. The quarter pounder is now complete. The next customer orders chicken mcnuggets. Robo Ronald advances towards the chicken coop. His eyes glow red. His body shifts to mince mode.

i hadn't eaten mickey d's in years and then had some to cheer myself up after my dog had to be youthenized (fyi this means the exact OPPOSITE of what it sounds like, btw!!) and i go inside and there's a massive iPad there for me to poke my order out upon it. i ordered a 10pc. chix nuggies, and received 10 and 1/2 chix nuggies! didn't exactly make up for the vet getting my hopes up for a benji buttons'ed dog, but it was still pretty swell |

Hey what's the deal with the parking spaces that are like "park and order your meal on the mcdonalds app, we'll bring it out to you", why do those exist? isn't the entire point of the drive through to get food into people's car? do some people feel weird about going through the drive through then parking in a parking space because they want to eat in their car? (I always think that's super fun, like you're getting away with something) I guess maybe if there's a lot of people getting food and you're conscientious about holding up the drive through it might make sense??? has anybody ever used one? edit: maybe you can order ahead?, is that it? isn't that the entire point of fast food though that you don't have to order ahead? ---------------- |

I think the spaces might be a response to people feeling guilty about idling in long drive through lines. |

(I always think that's super fun, like you're getting away with something) I guess maybe if there's a lot of people getting food and you're conscientious about holding up the drive through it might make sense??? I know some of those spots are the ones they tell you to pull forward out of the drive through and wait and they will bring your food out if the order is going to take longer then usual. Like if you order 5 double quarter pounders, 2 chicken sandwiches, 6 orders of fries, and 6 milkshakes. Meanwhile I am behind you in line and I just ordered a cheeseburger. They sometimes ask the person who ordered so much food to pull into one of those spots and wait there so they can just hand me my cheeseburger real quick and I can leave without waiting on you. I've also had them have me wait in one of those spots because like, they ran out of fries and forgot to make more or something. Basically trying to keep fast food as fast as possible for as many people as they can. Maybe they do something with online ordering and apps too but I don't know about that.

suggested they make the mcdonalds drive thru a slightly declining grade, imagine how much gas could be saved if everyone just coasted in drive thrus with the engine off, right? well, good news! My local McDonald's has the touch screen self-ordering kiosks now |

We should be spending more time with our friends, our families, and the cashier. These relationships are important, and we need to make them count. |

As kiosks become more popular, the cashiers start to take off their human makeup, revealing their clown skin underneath. This gradually leads to more acceptance until one day, you realise the guy you sat next to on the bus for 5 years was a clown all along. And you’re glad he can finally be himself. |

Old man gripe for the thread is that these sound like an extension of the dang Coke Freestyle machines that are everywhere now. The first time I saw one I thought it was cool, but now I see it and just know I'm gonna wait behind 3 people using it and it's going to take 20 minutes to get some dang soda.

Yes that is exactly the right analogy, except they're double-sided and there's usually half a dozen in the place, so it's fine. |
