McDonald's restaurants in Europe will soon be swapping the chain's legendary "service with a smile" with "service with a beep." European McDonald's restaurants are preparing to replace cashiers with touch screen computers at terminals where customers will be able to order up their hamburgers and fries and pay with credit cards.
About 7,000 of the fast food (http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/americans-cook-less-more-obese-1613/) franchise's locations in the United Kingdom will be fitted with the touch screen technology (http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/is-the-computer-mouses-destined-for-extinction-0733/), which aims to make the McDonald's experience more convenient and accommodating.
The touch screen method of ordering will improve efficiency and make the average transaction three to four seconds faster for each customer, Steve Easterbrook, president of the European branch of McDonald's, told the Financial Times (http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/e28f6864-7f1e-11e0-b239-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1MXM8Fvoh). Easterbrook didn't provide a date for when the touch screens, which were inspired by a trip to Japan, will be introduced to UK McDonald's restaurants.
The new terminals will also phase out cash as an accepted payment method, as the machines will only take credit and debit cards (http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/why-is-there-braille-on-drive-thru-atm-machines--1528/). No word yet on whether McDonald's in the United States will be next in line to replace cashiers with computers, but the addition doesn't seem to be part of the ongoing $1-billion makeover of the company's U.S. restaurants.

Most McD's only have two or three cashiers working at one time and when I do go inside it usually is one. They will still need them to cook and run the drive thru window and maintenance. There will be some lost positions though.

I'm not kidding when I say that EVERY TIME I order there I have to go back cause they fucked up the burger. I remember literally 1 time they got it right

Not sure this will necessarily "streamline" the industry, considering how long it takes those stupid fucks Wal-Mart/Kroger/H-E-B to get through the self-checkout lines. For every "3-4 seconds saved" (seriously, how fucking lazy/fat are we?), there'll be another 20 secs wasted on the idiots who can't figure out how to get their coupon to work...

That's probably because you're one of those picky little shits that asks for a burger no ketchup pickles cut in squares half a lttuce leaf thirteen onions cheese not touching the bread and a dong up your ass.

Or the people who decide to order food for like 12 people through the drive-thru. IMO it should be treated like an express lane, but maybe I'm the selfish one.

Fortunately a lot of places have actually learned time management and are a lot better about making these guys pull up and wait by the curb.

On another note, I'll be surprised if they go this route in the U.S., at least 100%. They may introduce the machines, but I bet they'll also have cashiers available.

Still, people will probably wait in longer lines just to avoid the human interaction, just like they do at HEB, Wally World, etc...

And guess what's ALWAYS on my burger...cheese



nice attempt to try an turn it on me though


And even if I were those type of people that yall describe, so fucking what? It's not a complicated algebra equation to read the damn screen or ticket and make what it says. And don't bring up time. It will take less time to make the burger with half the stuff on it than the burger that comes with everything on it

Not really faggott because the burgers are pre made and ready to go with everything on it. they are sitting there under heat lamps waiting to be put in a bag and tossed out the drive thru window but when ignorant fucks like you specialize a shit meal you make the retards that work there actually think and do something and therefore they fuck it up.

you want to specialize your meal? then get everything on it the way it comes(the way the fucktards know how to do it) and then take off what you dont want.

simple asshole.

stop COMPLICATING fast food

first of all, the only times they have burgers sitting there ready is when business is slow as fuck anyways. The rest of the day they have to make every order as they come because they get so backed up.

As far as just taking what I don't want off the burger, the fucking cheese melts into the damn bun and into the meat. You can't just peel it off. It's like scraping dog shit off the bottom of your shoe except you can't just get a hose and blast it off

The workers there cannot be demoted to a lower position in the working world. Shoveling shit pays more. It's like bitching about how bad the soup is at the soup line downtown, or how uncaring the hooker seemed last night.

Actually, I've never seen a McDonald's do this. They all have their ingredients in these little drawers and make each sandwich to order. Granted, the patties are pre-cooked and sitting in warming trays but they AREN'T pre-built. In fact, the only fast food place I can think of that has pre-built burgers is this shitty Burger King kiosk at my college. Those nasty fucks premake burgers and then throw them in the microwave when they are ordered. Nasty shit.

McDonald's is pretty notorious for getting shit wrong. I've noticed that, around here anyway, it has to do with moron illegal immigrant cashiers who press the "EXTRA ONION" button when I ask for no pickles. I've learned to just ask for a manager and bitch to get a free sandwich card. But its annoying when I'm in a hurry (kind of the point of McDonald's)

No they don't have them just sitting there you faggot. They make them dumbass, they have every little topping and condiment in a fucking drawer in a line above their station and guns filled with mayo, ketchup, and special sauce (you can look behind the counter and see this in plain view). :lol @ defending the laziness and stupidity of fast food workers

The thing that annoys me the most is if an illegal Mexcrement becomes the manager then every fucking person at that store won't be speaking English in a month or two because they replace all young people/normal people with more wetbacks. At the one closest to my house, literally EVERY person working there when I go in at any given time is a older Mexican woman probably between 55-65 who barely speaks English aside from "ju wanna fries wit det?"

I agree with everything you said except that part. I find it necessary to tell them to put less solids and more liquids in my cup and that goes with all fast food chains. I hate that my drink is watered down by the time I leave the place and/or that I finish my drink in 4 big gulps.

Like shit made in China, you know the quality before you buy it, but you buy it because it's cheap. It's cheap because they do not spend the time and money to make sure it's of consistently good quality. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

If you want quality service and quality food, you have to pay for it.

I have no idea how old you are, but you seem to be missing common fucking sense so you might want to check around your house to see where you put it.

i don't see no problem with cashiers tbh. don't quite know how it goes in china though. it doesn't affect the taste of your food however the cashier looks imho. groceries need such touch-screen terminals more than food restaurants imho, my gf has told me a number of times how much it embarrassed her when she bought some girl's stuffs and had to get them checked by a male cashier.

Nothing pisses me off than seeing someone with 40 items in an HEB self-checkout, and the fuckers always end up having mostly fruit or vegetables, they don't know the UPCs so they end up taking five times longer than they would if they'd just gotten in a regular line.

Maybe they'll utilize pics.....

They've had a touch screen ordering system at the Burger King in Terminal A at Atlanta Hartsfield for over two years now.

You can still order from a cashier if you want, but they have three touchscreen machines where you can order your food.

It's basically a digitized version of the overhead menu, and does have pics of the various meals. Then you can click on a button to change your toppings on your burger if you want.

Guessing McD's will go the same way.

Btw, why do soccer moms suck so much at buying groceries and driving? Those are like the only 2 things they need to be good at in life (and attending PTA meetings I guess), and most soccer moms are a disaster on wheels when they drive and always require the most attention from the self-checkout helper when checking out.

Same here. I think this is universal across almost all fast food though. I really cant remember the last time i went to a fastfood joint and actually got what i asked for.

WTF do you expect!?!? It is fast food that means order what is on the menu and stop trying to special order a burger. If you want exactly what you want then go to a real sit-down restaurant and see if the chef will cook it your way.

In my one summer of McDonald's labor I never intentionally botched a special order, but the basic philosophy of some of the kitchen vets was that getting special orders right boiled down to whether or not they gave a damn that day and most days they didn't. On the rare occasion that anyone gave them shit that's when they'd put on the "me english no so good" act. Some of those "stupid illegals" you guys think populate these kitchens are having a good laugh behind your backs.

This thread reminded me that I saw Lethal Weapon 2 on TNT this weekend. Joe Pesci's got a rant about how the drive thru people will fuck up your order on purpose because they know it won't be found out until you're already too far away to bother with complaints. That definitely happens. I saw a manager say as much to a trainnee. Most of the order was ready to go and she realized at the last second that she'd put ketchup on the burger. "Fuck it, it's drive thru, it won't matter. Get the order out and get them out of here." said the manager.

I worked at Taco Bell for 3 months in the early 2000s. I never washed my hands once. Not once. It was funny.

Just curious: there are still HEBs with self check? The one in Schertz took them out, which is a bummer because I used it ALL of the time.

HEBs in the Austin area still have them.

You mean high schoolers making minimum wage aren't the most reliable workers?

Like shit made in China, you know the quality before you buy it, but you buy it because it's cheap. It's cheap because they do not spend the time and money to make sure it's of consistently good quality. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

If you want quality service and quality food, you have to pay for it.

I have no idea how old you are, but you seem to be missing common fucking sense so you might want to check around your house to see where you put it.

once again, you're not responding to the fact that they make just as much as everyone else in that business but do a whole lot worse. Figure that out before going on another tirade. And I never said the quality of the food is bad.

Maybe I should be a little more sympathetic considering I know ordering it with "no cheese" just confuses the fuck out of them and completely throws their world upside down

I'm not lactose intolerant, I just really find cheeseburgers disgusting. It's that specific kinda cheese I guess

Btw, why do soccer moms suck so much at buying groceries and driving? Those are like the only 2 things they need to be good at in life (and attending PTA meetings I guess), and most soccer moms are a disaster on wheels when they drive and always require the most attention from the self-checkout helper when checking out.

Self-contained answer: moms = women


Most women suck at most things, therefore most soccer moms will suck at most things, including driving.

Its not difficult they just don't give a fuck, if the customer doesn't like it they can go somewhere else. Which they won't cause they are either too lazy or cheap

And whether or not they do actually go elsewhere is also beyond the point because none of that has real impact on the workers.

Yeah I know, but you'd think even a women's who's fuckin job is driving her kids to/from school and soccer practice would eventually figure out how to drive. An Asian soccer mom driving a mini-van it might as well be a tank driven by Jihad terrorists.

there's no such thing to them. Even if I say 'hamburger' it's understood that there's still cheese
