The plea is “don’t chitchat with the Maccos worker in the drive through. Just make your order as quickly as possible.”
So many of the articles posted here are about serious political topics. I thought something more light-hearted would be a nice change of pace.
But also: who chats with the person at the drive-through? I cannot imagine wanting to do that. I order on the app as a way to minimise the amount of discussion that has to take place.
Probably the same people that stand in queue for 20 minutes but refuse to glace at the menu to figure out what they might want until they’re actively being served and are now holding up the massive line behind them.
End Old man rant.
Most likely, also, they probably hate self checkouts because ‘removes the human element’ where they can chat to a forced corporate hostage that basically has to be polite.
I’m a self-checkout hater, but that’s mostly because I’d rather dump my groceries on the conveyor and zone out while someone else gets paid to do the work. If I do self-checkout, I have to do everything myself and then it complains and I have to get staff to come fix it and it’s all so stressful.
Sorry for bringing the mood down, but this story isn’t exactly my idea of ‘light-hearted’:
The woman claimed McDonald’s kitchen workers are under extreme pressure to process drive-thru orders. “We get yelled at and pushed so hard until we beat those times, we sadly can’t have a conversation with any customers,” she stated.
No, you’re completely right, and I almost didn’t write that bit of my message because of it. But I thought that it’s still a unique enough type of content to be worth calling out how it’s different from the usual politics. It was the more surface level of the article that interested me here anyway, because personally even if they’re not getting abused by their employer I’d still think the advice to not chit-chat in the drive-through is good advice.
