Many millennials hate interacting with people, according to a new survey. Nearly a third of people 18 to 24 prefer ordering from the drive-thru at restaurants because "they don't feel like dealing with people," according to a study by Ohio-based Frisch's Restaurants, which owns and franchises 120 Big Boy Restaurants. That's bad news for fast-food employees.

I only use self-checkout if the lines are longer than I’m willing to wait. I’ve never used an ATM for anything other than cash withdrawals. Deposits I do in person, everything else can be done from home, online or over the phone.
I hate dealing with people, and did time in FF. We had a name for people like that: grill person. You put the people people on the counter and the non-people people in the grill, not a big deal if you make the schedule right.
Good point, the order taker is no more used to receiving orders than the order giver is at giving them. Conflict.
Technology has made us into robot-zombies.
It’s going to be interesting watching humanity survive the next 40 years or so.
Millennial snow-flakes won’t make it.
I’m the same except I’ve never used an ATM. Haven’t noticed any hardship.
Remember how they used to sit quietly a little off from everybody else and talk in each others ear? No more.
Actually big cities are an easier place to avoid dealing with people than small town. Small towns have that chatty friendly thing going on, where the convenience store clerk knows everybody and talks to them. Big cities are much more direct line, only necessary words are exchanged, no chatting.
Unless all you got is grill people.
That’s where the schedule maker needs to know their employees.
Now that you mention it, big cities are the only places where delivery is ubiquitous.
Joe Pesci also said it in Lethal Weapon 2....
“The problem is dealing with non-English speaking people that cannot get a simple order right.”
And for a lot of those, ‘English’ is there native tongue ...
The biggest question about FF places is why the communication setups are just as bad as they were in the 70s.
Lousy, crackling and distorted audio that rivaled lower caliber drive in movies.
Couldn't have dealt with the solitude as a young guy, but over the years it seems there are fewer people worth talking with.
Considering that people skills and pleasant manners have all but disappeared, and it’s difficult to blame them.
Society is in the sh*tter and it’s going down.
I actually like dealing with people. And spanish people warm right up to me when I start speaking spanish to them. It’s kind of fun actually.
I enjoy making clerks, cashiers etc. in stores smile. It’s just something I like to do.
Hire hot chicks to take the orders, that will change everything.
Isn’t it the truth...With technology today, it seems like they could get something that is clear...
Who needs to talk to people when I have you Freepers to chat with?
Solitude never bothered me much.
I am a break/fix IT flunkie in a manufacturing place and I love the machines and technology with the big exception of printers. The people get to me sometimes.
Everyone is basically okay and such but my socializing limit is usually hit by early morning.
I stay in my office for lunch or go to the little diner down the road and love it that way. I
