    The bigger reason I don’t go to McDonald’s is because of the self serve kiosks they’ve forced on us instead of paying people to run the registers.

    Price is still a reason though, so I’m glad they are at least considering that as well.

      i don’t get why people complain about this – i’d so so much rather type my order in myself, see what’s in everything, make modifications easily, etc without having to talk to someone. get those workers on the line and help ease the load on the kitchen

        Because I go there once in a blue moon and it’s easier for the guy doing it 1000x/day to push in my order than me finding it on a big dumb Kiosk menu.

        I won’t frequent places that force me to use a kiosk.

          Decision paralysis.

          I don’t know the menu, seeing all the things flash by and not know what’s in them is my reason, but in the 3 years I only been there 2 or 3 times for ice cream or coffee. But the logic applies for all other places.

      Why would you want people to take orders? It’s not some amazing work that is satisfying. We should be glad these jobs are going away
