Big deal. The burgers will still be dry.

True, but now they might be spit deficient...

[SuperLuminal]

Hmmm...
For a moment, until reading further, I thought that McDonalds had decided to use actual beef in its hamburgers...

Their burgers will taste even more like 96-column cards.

Instead, how about machines doing it all faster than humans ever could?

Machines don't forget to wash their hands after using the bathroom, so that's a win right there.

Better IBM than BLM.

Speaking of witch, who will break up the BT-1000 fights in the restaurant?

I'll admit that the breakfasts ARE pretty good and I indulge on occasion, but that isn't the time you see the long lines.

When McDonald's used the excuse of the lockdown, to stop offering breakfast sandwiches all day, I stopped going there. Their breakfast sandwiches were the only thing I liked. The rest of their food is shit.

At the two McDonald's here, whenever I did order a 1/4 pounder and fries, or two hamburgers and fries...neither of them special orders, I always had to pull up and wait for the food. So what's the difference if I wait for their burgers and fries, or wait for a breakfast sandwich? I will never buy anything from them ever again.

[SMARTY]

For sure!!

[dfwgator]

Their crap is pure poison, anyway.

There are few things finer on the face of this planet that will make you feel so good as having an older, black, southern woman see your face and say, “Hey baby! How are you this morning?”

No further adjectives than southern woman required. Although southern lady might better describe the experience. Although, although the 'southern' part might well cover that base...

Higher quality food and not highway robbery prices?

That’ll get you some ebonic sass and some spit and hair in your meal...

"I went to the local Domino’s last night, only to be told they only take online orders. No more Domino’s for me!"

That's nuts. I stopped using their online ordering, because their website won't process gift cards for me on either Safari, or Firefox. We have one Domino's here, so I call my order in every time. The guy told me it's better to call in to find out what their specials are, because they're not always the same as online. So whenever I want to redeem a gift card, I call the order in, and give him the card info verbally. You should write or call Domino's customer service and complain. Domino's has a phone app too, but I don't use apps on my iPhone for anything. I don't want that crap on my phone.

[Mathews]

Nope. 100% disagree.

Someone’s got a lil’ crush know it or not lol

I’m not surprised. With the incredible success of Amazon and other retailers copying, plus Covid lockdowns, it was inevitable the business models would change. You don’t even have to go to your local Liquor store for booze. DoorDash, UberEats, Grizzly bring your beer/liquor/food to your door.

About a month ago I started hearing extremely loud periodic drive-by scooter noises at all hours of the day. It didn't dawn on me what was going on until I saw the person in action. The driver had a huge cooler strapped to the back of the scooter. High tech still has to depend on low tech for last mile deliveries.

[Mathews]

Nah... she’s just a sweet old soul who gives me joy every time I get a chance to speak with her.
