if you patronize mcdonalds you obviously don't give a fuck about the climate and probably think AI is super cool anyway.

I hate mcdick, but can I ask how thats any worse environmentally than any other restaurant? Or should we all eat beans and rice forever ?

On one hand fuck AI on the other hand McDonald's customers don't deserve any better.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Fuck dude lol

I mean... so damned true. People going to mcdonalds because they're seeking (or effectively addicted to) the hyper-engineered food-ingredient-based hot candy... and just delusional about the entire operation and their role in it.

Given the awful audio quality of those systems where it is sometimes hard to even communicate with a human on the other side, I wonder how f-ed up an order through a stupid "AI" will end up.

I can't imagine this doing much else than increasing time spent in the drive thru, for several reasons. Not to mention, someone will still be there as human back up anyway, so why not just not?

Eh, what do I care? I already don't go to McDonald's unless I absolutely have to and have carefully weighed up my hunger versus the impending regret.

This seems opposite of trying to get prices down. Do better.

The vote ratio on these comments is beginning to concern me.

McTrump can fuck all the way off. They will never be forgiven for enabling this mess we're all in.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 11 points 2 days ago

Fuck them and fuck their enabling ass customers.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think I experienced one of these at Taco Bell a few weeks ago. Got 10x hard shell tacos but I only ordered 1 with the rest of my order. I fucking devoured them all.

the rare occasion where i go to mcdonald's, i always go inside and order from a real person at ~~a~~ the (there's only one here now) register. i want to exchange cash for product and that's the only way to do it.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Your lucky you can still find that. The ones i have been to in my region are just kiosks and if you need someone your basically waiting 5 minutes until someone in back realizes your waiting.

Just went by a rallys that had this, and surprise surprise it sucked. I like getting extra veggies on my shit cause as I have told one smart ass delicatessen "maybe I like my fucking rabbit food!". Ffs I'm build like gronkowski, who are you to insult my preference for fiber?

Anyways, it didn't get it right so I had to ask the cashier who just yelled back. Glad we wasted resources on something that is worse than it's predecessor.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Seeing as McDonald's has the worst mobile app of any fast food company, I have to assume technology-wise this may also suck.
