I've literally never ordered food for myself from a fast food restaurant because I don't like having to make complicated orders for the cashiers (theyre minimum wage high school students ykno?) because I'm lactose intolerant (bite of cheese and i shit myself and throw up tier)
With these I would go constantly desu. How do you get the food? Does a worker still bring it out? Or do they still have a single cashier or something?
Jacob Wood
A worker still brings it out...for now. You get a printed ticket with your total and unique number ID so some asshole can't come in and claim your food as theirs.

I'm completely sure that workers at my local McDonald's sabotaged those machines
They are always either broken or out of paper or who knows what, nobody dares put their cards in one of them. I did and I spent 20 minutes trying to get help from someone because I didn't know if it charged my order but didn't give me a ticket

That's totally possible. AFAIK MCD used Australia to test these kiosks before global rollout, so I wouldn't expect mass hardware failures in a single location.

Local Jack in the Boxes tried these over a decade ago and it was like being stuck behind a line of elderlies trying to use a Coke Freestyle.
Considering how hard it was to get a McFlurry for years I don't have any faith in these machines lasting very long once the disrepair and down times cut into sales figures.

I can see these things popping up in places like NYC and LA where paying retards to man cash registers is a huge net loss because of high minimum wage, but everywhere else in the country will basically be unaffected.

We have this in France for years now, if not a decade.
And there is still people taking orders at desk.
And they probably earn the same salary as before.
But when a rush occurs, or when you do complicated orders like it's very usefull.
Nowaday, half people goes to desk, half to kiosk.

Same here in Australia. They usually only have 1 cashier serving customers though, which means you either have to queue or go and use the self service terminal.
Prices at mcdonalds went up quite a bit since they introduced this shit, be aware americans, in a couple of years time $1 McChickens will be a thing of the past and you'll all be on here whinging about how mcdonalds is expensive af. You saw it here first.

Most McDonald's I know have them. The article specifically says "replace" though. Does that mean they'll get rid of human cashiers completely? They couldn't actually so that, awful for old people
