McDonald's finds itself grappling with a significant crisis as a widespread IT outage disrupts operations across multiple countries, leaving customers stranded and frustrated.

They’d better shutter. The riots will be worse than All-You-Can-Eat Crab Legs night at Red Lobster.

...and for a short time, the people of Australia and Japan will finally be eating HEALTHY FOOD as they can no longer access McDonald’s.

How did McDonalds ever manage in the ‘50s thru 2000s before the machines took over??? Can’t someone count to 90 then turn the darned burger over?
Or is it “make change for a ten” the problem?

In Japan you can just go across the street and get cash at the convenience store anyway.

Lol, Dependency on tech is great isn’t it?

Back in the day we would just start a “cash box” and actually count change. Yell the orders back and be competent enough to get them to the right customers. It wasn’t rocket science.

Unless things have changed since I was in Japan 35 years ago. You could get Beer and Whiskey amongst other things from street vending machines.
