I fucking hate them.
They're designed for people who are about 5'0". They take so much longer than speaking the order to a person, especially if you have any customizations to add/remove.
0/10, avoid at all costs.
For me it's the exact opposite, most of them have the possibility to change the language to English, even though it's only partially translated I still can see the pictures of what I'm trying to order. If I need to look at the Korean menu and then speak Korean to the person to order, then I would just go away, especially if they don't have pictures on the menu.
For me it's use 10/10 (even the crappy ones)
I can understand the language barrier win there.
I like customizations on the touchscreen. I've had several experiences where I tell the cashier what I want including customizations only to get my order and realize that the order wasn't entered in properly. The touchscreen ensures that the order is at least entered properly.
Can I get a McCrapwich? That's it, no drink. . It's like 10 seconds.
Oh, did you want to remove the tomato?
That'll be an extra 3 minutes.
What parent item are the salads under again?
They blow.
They're designed for people of average (male) height, like everything else from default seatbelt position to doorways. Sounds like yet another tall person complaint to add to the pile.
In any case, I find them comfortable (probably because I'm average height lmao) and I like to take my time ordering to combine the best deals possible without having a cashier staring waiting on me so they can go take care of all the other things that McDs overworks their employees with.
IME (I've worked FF before) you "Fuck these machines" people generally trend towards annoying karen-type and take FOREVER ordering.
Doorways? Lol. Think about the alternative, if they were designed for the average height for females. Most men would need to duck or crawl under doorways.
Ok yea doorways was probably a bad example since those actually get an additional allowance for furniture and crap
And to clarify, I don't actually agree with the method of using the male average for everything (Ever wonder why they set the Office thermostat to 72? That's right male average of comfort lol), but it's what the world around us is built around.
You just sound like you're on a witch-hunt and hate men lol.
