So I went into the McDonalds restaurant on my training route with my SJW trainee today, and we saw the lovely touch screens to place our order. She said “I’m gonna go to the register cause I’m gonna support a job” , I said well I’ll use the touch screen.
The touch screen asked me to grab a number plate sitting next to it. So after I ordered a grabbed on and went to sit down. A few minutes later a lady (the cashier) brought my food. I said to my trainee that I am keeping a job, and making her job easier, cause she’d much rather just deliver me food than have to take my order. My trainee went and got her food at the register.
McDonalds is using the touch screens and making service better. Place your order, then sit down and wait for your food. They never did that before. But now they can afford that. My SJW trainee was so pissed that I was right..... I felt great. One win for automation.
