They didn't "get those workers on the line" though. They fired them. Fuck McDonalds, and FUCK ANY BUSINESS that forces these fucking things on us. I'm not there to work, I'm there to order food and eat. If you can't be bothered to take my order, I can't be bothered to drop a fucking dime on your business.
They weren't paying them a living wage in the first place let them replace it with screens
Of course RagingRobot would support this.
You dislike self checkouts too?
I can guarantee you nobody got fired for these machines, the turnover is already so fucking high there that it's not even needed. When I worked at MCD I lasted an entire year and excluding the managers I was probably in the top 3-4 in terms of "seniority"
The McDonalds near me have people on tills as well as the self order machines. And you say they fired them. Can you prove that?
To be clear. I dont think you are wrong, I have no idea, and I am genuinely curious and want to know if that happened. since you claimed it with such conviction, I assume you can give a reference or point me in the direction of the search terms I could use to find a source myself?
I'm saying that the 4 McDonalds in my town don't have front-line workers that take orders, save for the drive thru. All they have are the kiosks. Fuck that, and fuck them.
