Interesting. All the Mickey-D’s around me are begging for workers.

Apparently, that is a major problem out here on the west coast.

Also, in a few years many if not many most so called High School grads will not be able to do basic math nor read instructions. (1)

That will disable any ability to do even basic work like take an order, fry a hamburger, and make correct change.

no they stopped having to do that years ago.

they just push the picture and give back the total on the screen

McD has been using robots for years now in thier order section in the store. nothing new here.

I was at their register, ready for them to take my order. Besides, they never got my delivery to my house in a timely fashion. Up until last night, I would place the order in store. It was a huge “Eff you, we don’t want your money.”

I’m now obliging Domino’s.

Over thirty years ago I worked for a week at a local McDonald’s. The conditions and the way the food was handled was so disgusting that I quit. I told my dad, “Not only don’t I want to work there, now I don’t ever want to eat there!”

I’ve never gotten a burnt one. Just cold, flaccid, un-crispy ones, because people don’t order them as often as they order burgers, and the fish sammy appears to be an afterthought to McDonald’s.

They used to be better - (and they need to bring back lard for the fries, too.)

Are the robots going to fix the ice cream machines?

Next thing will be all those electric cars in the future will have a microwave and you can fill up the fridge at a McDonald’s charging and fast food kiosk.

Fun times. I would talk so that machine would never understand my order. Cars behind me would get pissed. Horns would honk. It would be GLORIOUS bwa-ha-ha.

The burgers will still be dry.

And overpriced.

The only they've got going are the fries.

And shazam! Just like that the over-payed fast food worker is eliminated!

Golly...we tried to warn them! Living wage is code for job elimination and those who won’t improve their skills.

“Electric cars in the future will have a microwave”

That’s an excellent thought. I wonder how long it will take for that to happen.

After avoiding McDonalds for decades I recently bought a sausage mcmuffin with Cheese, it was gross. The muffin was soggy and it tasted like maple syrup.

I’m with you. Love those older southern black ladies too. They just know how to be.

My brother said years ago, that he would be happy when everything was accessible without one ever having to go outside of the house.

I guess he’s gotten that over the past couple of years; but it made me sad. I love going out to the grocery, the fast-food place, etc., and interacting with other people.

No problem here. We’ve learned to use the app with deals like BOGO double-cheeseburger and free Crispy Chicken with $1 purchase (cheeseburger). We order as we approach, walk around a bit, walk-in, and our “food” is waiting.

I just saw a story today where there's a new outfit "Returnmates" that specializes in returning stuff (like Amazon purchases) for you so you never have to leave home.

I do like seeing people; but I’ve also very much appreciated online stuff.

I honestly think I’ve only had to return one thing to Amazon that wasn’t satisfactory (clothes for my husband that didn’t fit); and I’ve been using them and spending many thousands there, for almost 15 years.

I’ve gotten a couple of things that were defective, but Amazon just compensated me without requiring a return. I’ve only paid for one cheap thing (from China, of course) that was incorrect and not worth the trouble to send back.

I know a lot of people don’t like Amazon, but in my situation they’ve been very useful. I also appreciate the opportunity to support the many small American businesses that sell there. (I’m a fan of Etsy, and sometimes Ebay, too.)

That sounds like a mcgriddle with the Maple syrup.
