Does your Mcdonalds have touchscreen menus?


The one I frequent has had them for a few months now and it has created a much better experience.

Really? The one I go to forces you to even if paying cash. So you order then walk over to the counter with your receipt to pay even though you could have just ordered there. So I just pay with a card.

Literally worst quality fast food unless you get a premium item and then why you going to mcdonalds for a 6 dollar sandwhich?!?!

Consumers arent rational.

Seems like a low discount. I mean, I would take it, but it seems almost not worth it...

I guess the touch screens could be pretty good. It reminds me of subway has an app to order it, but I can't order what I want with it. unless it's been updated...

Begging the question, the post.

How about 2 people at register, and hire a 3rd to run food out?

Thats 1 extra job lost per location at least. How many mcdonalds are there again?

I use the lanes at grocery stores instead of self checkouts whenever possible.

Most people here seem to not work any service jobs, or are bitter about them and think if they went away they could get a different low skill job taking care of the machines which will sooth their antisocial job stresses.

My local McD has had them for about a year now. On occasion they might run out of paper but usually they work well unless you want to do a special order (say if you want to find something like a honey packet or a McRib). Normally I only use them when the place's front counter is really swamped with orders (like a packed restaurant) if I don't use the drive thru.

You don't honestly believe that do you...?

A computer is going to be cheaper than ANY wage... you're gonna see more of them everywhere regardless of wages.

They've had them in my town for maybe a couple years now (not sure I rarely go there). I must say it does work better than the traditional method in my experience.

I do the same with the regular lanes, unless there's something I want to shoplift.

first place I remember seeing touch screen menu you used to order from was actually a gas station that also served food. wanna say Sheetz. actually i'm pretty sure it was. now the BK I worked at technically had them but the cashier is the one who used it to ring up your order.

Like I said before the same amount of people still work there. All that has changed is less people taking order, more people running food.

Yes. Honest question - am I missing something or is it kinda useless?

The main one that I go to has one, and the employees there always have me choose everything and then they have to select it. I cant pick it myself, they do. So its basically just me seeing the touchscreen the cashier would use anyway? Idek

Nope. Minimum wage increases did it.

Its official: McDonalds says that every one of its 14,000 stores nationwide will be replacing cashiers with automated touch-screen kiosks. Theyre starting with stores where minimum-wage laws mandate the highest rates, such as Florida, New York, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

Florida's minimum wage is $8.35 an hour. I doubt that it's as high as San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Seattle or even Washington, D.C., the minimum wage that is. No, Florida was sued by the feds for not passing on any minimum wage increases (they were at $7.35 an hour, way below the federal minimum wage before going to court a few years ago); that's why it's now $8.35.

Hate to side with the religious, but when you are no longer worried about facing eternal damnation youd be surprised what selfish people in power will to continually increase profit margins even when they have enough for themselves, their kids, and their kids kids to live comfortably.
