I'd much rather order my meal from a machine than from the morons at the fast food places, especially at the drive up service.

You drive up & hear, “ Wecum to %&$# (unintelligible). Would you like to try our ^&$%@!*. Can I &())^#@er”. Then repeat endlessly your order until he/she/it tells you to drive up to the window, where you receive everything but what you ordered.

The speaker system was new in the 1940s. The order taker barely speaks understandable English, or not. The traffic noise around the restaurant makes a purchase nearly impossible.

“What-a-Burger” opened a store in my area about a year ago. The “greeting” message with the specials and suggestions at the drive through is automated. I’ve noticed at most of the fast food joints the person working the window has a headset.

It’s not like it was when I was in High School.
