Will video kiosks work for $15.00 per hour?
If you don't want to wait for a touch screen, you can also order on-line and it is waiting for you when you stop in to pick it up.
I genuinely pity you poor slobs who do not have a Sheetz or its equivalent in your area. I've heard Wa-Wa is almost as good.
Look what Hostess did to themselves
Now Hostess is back stronger than ever without ‘em
Sheetz Stations have had them for yearz. It works great. You punch in exactly what you want.
Was anyone this shocked when banks replaced tellers with machines?
Was anyone shocked when the music industry pretty much went digital, shutting down “music” stores by the score? (Pun intended)
The machines generally are less error prone and work for a lot less per transaction than people. Sure they break down, but for the price of one technician you can have them back up a helluva lot faster than someone comes back from being sick.
And, for the most part, they speak whatever language you want them to speak.
This calls for Executive Order Man!!
I went to my last McDonald’s some time ago.
I’ve used a touch-screen order interface at Sheetz and it works very well, unless the store is slammed as they often are. Nice for a combo gas station convenience store and hot, fresh food. The food is better than most fast-food chains, surprisingly. The annoying thing is having to line up with all the other store traffic to pay, the touch-screen just spits out a receipt with order number that is activated once paid. It could be faster with a card reader on the touch-screen. On the other hand there are a couple of restaurants I frequent that have card readers on iPads which works very well except for the printed receipt if I need it for expense report, the opposite of Sheetz, lol.
When the first shoemaking machines showed up in early 1800s France, the cobblers would put wooden shoes (sabot) in the gears to take down the machines, to try to keep their manual shoemaking jobs, which was the first sabotage. Don't be surprised is Anonymous-type people make it their goal to sabotage the touch screens, both digitally by hacking, and non-digitally by physical destruction in the name of "the workers."
I would love to have another store to choose from.
My daughter goes to school in upstate NY and they have Wegmans.
I never in my live thought I would enjoy going into a supermarket. But I like going into those stores.
The door handles you used to enter the restaurant are nasty today. You don't even want to know what's all over the grocery cart you pushed around for 30 minutes in the grocery store. Do you accept change when it's handed to you?
Other than that one temporary issue, the system works very well.
Yall can go to your robot McHamburger factory and pay $8 for McSh*t on a stick while cheering that people are losing jobs.
I think I will continue to go to a sit down place that makes a real burger to order with fries and a drink for the same price or less, and I will tip the waitress.
Will Obammycare be expanded to include video kiosks?
We use them at WAWA and it’s ok except for the fact that half the food has to be eaten with your hands.
>>Will video kiosks work for $15.00 per hour?
They need to allow people to order on their smartphone too, so the old people who are spending 20 minutes figuring out that complicated “screen thingie” can be bypassed.
Crappy, out of date web site. I will say that that is an unfortunate name for an establish that sells food.
Look for health care to be pushed toward Walmart clinics.
Now that’s an idea. Smartphone app... you walk in the restaurant and your smartphone app syncs up with the order desk. You order from your own phone.... nobody else’s germs on it. That’s a good idea.
>>Keep in mind Clorox wipes and hand sanitizers do not kill norovirus.
Norovirus also can’t penetrate the skin on your hand. Carry your own industrial-grade hand sanitizer if it is a concern. After all, you are eating at a public restaurant and touching paper money and the touch screen scares you?? Priorities!
