McDonald’s will stop testing AI to take drive-thru orders, for now - lemm.ee

Still order like grandpa. I go in and want to talk to a human and order. I hate those gross ass touchscreens. I am probably a minority especially in my age group and working in tech
Always wondered why anyone would rather talk to a person than take their time, have a nice overview of the menu, and pay in advance. I guess they are gross though.
The only time I would rather not talk to a person is if the accent causes a language barrier. Otherwise 9 times out of 10 a person is going to understand what you want better especially if it’s a customization issue

“Gobble gobble goo?”

“Uhhhh…I’m sorry?”

“Gobble…gobble…goo?”

“…what?”

“GOBBLE GOBBLE GOO!!!”

“I have no idea what you mean by that…”

Guy behind you in line: “c’mon man!!! Pay attention! He’s saying CAN I HELP YOU?”

“Really? Those phonetic sounds were supposed to be in any way similar to the thing you said? It’s not even close…”

“English is probably his second language. How well do you speak THEIR language?”

“Which language do you speak?”

“Yjxrjk#@■♡○{rjbzwk!”

“I’m done.”
