Kiosks don't demand $15 an hour plus benefits.
And they don't spit in your food.

Fix it so Laquisha and Lamont can’t pull the cashier through the drive up widow when their McNuggets are late.

Does it speak Jive?

By this dastardly act of the acquisition of an Israeli company, McDonald’s is inviting a BDS-led boycott.

I suppose the main problem with kiosks at McDonalds is the germs on the touch pad. Voice recognition will probably be the future of this sort of stuff, especially at drive through windows.

If you couple that with smart credit cards that can be scanned by waving/tapping them on a card reader, one could complete a McDonalds experience touching only the bag.

Isn’t it going to be expensive to employ Israeli PhD computer scientists in all their drive-through windows?

At a local Chick-Fil-A, the line is often 8 to 10 cars deep.

50 yards away at McDs, at the same time, their lane is often empty. We like the waffle fries more than the McDs potato toothpicks.

The system, which enables ordering of multiple items in several languages, was evaluated in McDonald’s test restaurants prior to the agreement.

My theory is that it is large corporations who are the driving force behind the ‘Fight for $15’ movement. The idea is to make human labor too expensive to be economically feasible. So they have an excuse to bring in artificial intelligence and robotics.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The AI will understand English.

Unlike a lot of current fast food employees.

I believe it comes with two voice options, Jackie Mason or Henny Youngman.
