McDonald's upgrades — cashiers out, computers in

And so it begins.

*insert angry old person bitching about computers that you usually see in the self checkouts of grocery stores*

If there are no cashiers who usually give me my food how does it reach my hands? Teleportation?

'The touch screen method of ordering will improve efficiency and make the average transaction three to four seconds faster for each customer'

Or a lot slower when you get someone whos about 82 years old fumbling with a card for the local bingo hall thinking its a debit card.

man so much many jobs will be lost slowly. Its already hard to get a job up here in Canada and now this. Sometimes just sometimes I feel US would just f off.

This was pioneered by Sheetz and others.

You can even place your order right at the gas-pump if you like.

All their ordering is touch-screen. An actual person does give you your food...for now.

That is...for now.
