Forcing people to use their data stealing app, their real money maker.

With the money they saved on not installing any form of menu, they should be able to fill that toy drive bin they got there.

Theres a newer one near my house in the city that’s the same way. Only went once, never again.
Theres no cashier or anyone to talk to so you order at the kiosk (I don’t really mind that). But then they brought out 3 bags/combo meals to the counter, and the teens that were there before me took all of them. I ust assumed they ordered that amount of food, and they were there before me so mine must be coming. Then I stood there for 20 more mins, no food, no one to ask about updates. Basically had to walk behind the counter and yell out like hey can I get an update on my order? Turns out the teens had taken my order as well. No order numbers called, nothing. This is in a big city, mind you, even the worker acknowledged that theyve been having issues with people just stealing food.
Terrible system, never going to that one again.

People still go inside a McDonald’s? Drive through is the only way.

Not just to remove service and interaction, but also so they can maximize the prices tailored to each customer.

At this point, there’s barely any reason to get fast food. It’s not cheap and it’s not faster or tastier than most air fryer food.
They obviously don’t care about the quality of the food or the experience. Why are we still going to those places? The circumstances and convenience that made this model rich is over.
I think the only reason we still go is habit. Cause you can’t even say the food is ‘addictive’ anymore. It’s too subpar for that

forcing customers to use a kiosk and accepting only hands-free payment only methods is their classist nod to keep out the poors and illiterate.
in return you get smaller portions for higher prices and no service.
distopian fairness.

If you want a refill at these new McDonald’s you have to flag somebody down, they have to put the order through the computer, than this giant machine has to fill a whole new cup. It’s fucking ridiculous. No more soda fountain, no ketchup pumps, no wall menu.

All on the screens. This place is for collections. Or finding out the ice-cream machine is off.

We stopped at a newly remodeled McDonald’s in Santa Monica and it felt completely different. Barely any seating now, maybe a third of what it used to be, which makes it feel like they do not want people hanging around. There were also no menu screens behind the counter. An elderly customer needed help, and when a staff member finally came out, they walked him to the self service kiosk and helped him place his order there. It felt very unwelcoming. Like, order and get out, thank you come again.

All McDonald’s will be like this eventually.

It’s for the folks who wait in line, finally get to the counter and then start to decide what to have, those were great times!
It’s McDonalds folks!
Don’t like it, don’t go, you get to choose!

Lol, why do people still go to McDonald’s? When they lost the Dollar menu there was literally no point. None of it tastes good, it’s not cheap and at this point it’s not fast because so many mindless plebs just go there anyway.
I’m glad it exists though because it makes everywhere else actually quick. Lol

I almost never eat at McDonalds unless I’m on the road and that’s all I see. The last time I stopped at one they wanted me to order with the app. I said I didn’t have it and didn’t want it. There were so few things on the menu board that I was confused. I think they assume everyone knows what they serve. I ordered just a quarter pounder and a bottle of water (which was one of the few things I know they have) and I almost dropped my card when they told me how much I owed for it.
I’ll just go find a grocery store next time on on the road.

Service is everything to me, sometimes even more important than the quality of the product. Shit like this would guarantee Id never spend another penny with that company

Dude this is crazy… I just stopped at one in New Braunfels last night to grab the kids food on the way to the Christmas light drive through. They all needed to pee so we went inside and it looked exactly like this but with bright white tile walls and only three people working in the back that WOULD NOT come to the front to take an order, they “conveniently” had 15 self order screens lined up against the perimeter, felt super dystopian. I also took a picture but can’t comment with it

My question is, have they adjusted the nutrition info to align with the MUCH SMALLER PORTIONS!

Mildly dystopian?
Probably going to install TV menus
