We have a different problem here in LA: Everyone at McDonalds only speak ESPANOL!

I don’t know why they just don’t automate the entire joint. Any robot could cook burgers or soak fries in boiling oil.

All they’d need to do is hire a security guard to make sure the customers don’t beat on the kiosk, steal the seats or burn the place down.

Scratch the security guard. Just automate that position too and put gun ports in the walls like on brinks trucks.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! LOL!

I had to go back and re-read to see if I was shilling for McDonald's stock. First individual stock I ever purchased, honestly do like how McDonald's is innovating improvements in their food and service.

One last comment about how McDonald's is pulling this all off: they send teams into other restaurants/restaurant chains to examine what seems to work for those other restaurants and why they have such a repeat customer following and then McDonald's finds way to adopt that themselves.

According to the woman I briefly dated, two of the chains that they study the most are Wendy's and Chik-fil-A.

Go figure.

My Daughter-in-laws family is large, and used to have a family “big band”. They traveled in a large van, and when they went to McDonald’s drive-thru, the dad didn’t ask what everybody wanted. He ordered 9 cheeseburgers, 9 fries, and 9 cokes, and that was that.

McD surveys for free extra 1/4lb cheeseburger always ask what my fav restaurant is. I always answer CFA.
