How am I suppose to know you think the 90s were all one year or something, you dirty little zygote

And none of those are 90s nostalgia. One's anime and two target kids who weren't even alive in the 90s.

They were all out within four years of each other. When you get older you will realize that four years is not a very long time.

I know they are targeted towards children, that is why I assumed goons would be excited about them.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

Facebook Aunt posted:

I hate those things. What the gently caress, Mcdonalds?




These things are great. You can focus on the part of the menu you are interested in like just burgers, just sides, just drinks, etc. The print is big enough and close enough that you don't need to squint even as your eyes fail with middle age myopia. And you can stare at it for as long as you want without the pressure of anyone waiting for you to make up your mind. They are fantastic.

Apparently the CEO did it out of spite, but they are the best change to Mcdonalds in years. https://www.forbes.com/sites/realsp...e/#72fc3a1a4fbc

Though some people like automation, it drives me nuts. It slows the line unless they have training sessions, it offers too many choices, and then you have to fight with the machine to pay. Self checkouts are fine but only if you used to work retail and you're quick in the line.

A human can work a checkout far faster and more efficiently. At the place I used to work, we tried doing an automated kiosk system at a Wendy's in McCarran in Las Vegas. It failed miserably. The software was good and the layout was efficient. It was just that everyone hated it. I'll never visit any restaurant that wants me to be the cashier unless they pay me for it. At $15/hour. Must be paid in the form of a check.

Hooray - I'm glad it made it. I've heard back from you and one other who forgot which thread this all went down in. Hopefully all 10 people I sent packages to will post their opinions and a photo. I should have made that a rule, but with any luck people will be nice enough to do that anyway.

My stuff made it. My Life Savers were also crushed. Everything else was intact. I didn't get pics, but here are my reviews of each item:

- Musk Life Savers - who ever said these taste like Old Lady Perfume nailed it. Kind of a rosewater taste. Not bad, but not something I would choose on my own.

- Pineapple Bites - these were amazing. We have a similar thing here called a Charleston Chew, except those are a long single bar instead of bite-sized pieces. It even recommends on the package that you stick it in the freezer, then smack it sharply on a hard surface so it breaks into bite-sized pieces. Pineapple Bites save you a step! I plowed through them. DELICIOUS. Charleston Chews come in Vanilla, Chocolate and like....Strawberry/Raspberry? Something pink.

- the Cheesy Bite or whatever it's called is....meh. I LOVE Vegemite. This was basically nerfed Vegemite. I'd give it a C, mostly because I don't want to water down the teate of delicious Vegemite.

HUGE thanks again and if you ever want snacks from the US, shoot me a PM, and I will hook you up.

A couple of the McD's I went to had an 'express lane' with one person with an iPad taking peoples orders and another person on a till that you pay and then another person brings up your order after about another minute or so, how common is this?

The one near me does this for the lunch rush, especially with the drive-thru line that can sometimes get long enough to spill out of the parking lot and block a lane of the road (because gently caress you, other cars, I need a lovely burger!). The idea is to only stop the line for a second at each window to pay or grab food, and it seems to work...often the ipad person is walking with cars as they continually move.

All the ones that have gotten the kiosks also have one or two regular counter checkouts for olds and whatnot. The kiosks don't even take cash, just plastic: You can still order at the kiosk if you want to look at the menu, but you'll have to take the slip it gives you and pay at the counter. It's faster overall because while they used to have 2-4 counter clerks on duty at any given time, they now have 1-2 clerks +4 kiosks.

Going to the counter to order sucks though, because a couple years before the kiosks were brought in the menu screens behind the counter were converted to big screen tvs, and randomly explode into multi-media extravaganzas about the glory of Shamrock Shakes or whatever. I don't think it ever shows the whole menu at once anymore. The kiosks never take away the the thing you were reading to show you pictures of other things. The kiosks here also show you the calories of everything and the calorie total of your order, so you can feel like a fatass.

That's my mcdonald's story, thanks for listening.

Have you ever even been near a physical theater? No movie has ever in the last 40 years been held over one year, let alone four. No wonder everyone was clueless about your "funny" post about a marquee displaying remakes for films so broadly apart, one having been originally released in the west on home video...

Man, I thought that was just me! I've stood behind plenty of cash registers and the only time I'm not through a self-checkout in less than ninety seconds is if something goes wrong and an employee has to come over and fix it. But yesterday I had to walk someone through every possible aspect of using their e-mail, including how to get on to the internet, ON THEIR OWN LAPTOP. Put that person in front of a computer with 5,000 options for a fast food order and things maybe won't go so well. (I work in a library and all librarians are constantly reminded that a lot of people out there aren't necessarily computer-literate).

I didn't post it, poo poo lord. I just got it. The joke was not that they were literally all out at the same exact time in the 90s, it was that Hollywood is continuing to churn out remakes.

Woods porn only ever occurred once or twice in a young man's life and probably never if you were born in the 90's. My friends and I found three Hustlers and an old pan by the remains of a camp fire in the woods once. It was amazing.
