McDonalds testing a new idea... you're in MN and the drive thru taker is
in Denver, Co.

Anybody hear of this? McD is centralizing the order taking process.

I don't see how this is a feasable or good idea, unless they start shipping these jobs to India as well... (and that's not even sarcasm.)

1. and there we have reason #3,234,210,345,794
to not spend any money at McDonalds. They make crap food with little nutritional value and now they are going to further be a community nuisance by not even hiring locals for minimum wage. Bastards.

2. The only reason that I go to McDonald's is to use their bathroom
When I am driving or out somewhere I know that they all have bathrooms and I stop in to patronize them at that time.

I would buy something from them but I don't feel like getting diarrhea.

The smell alone makes me :puke:.

5. And their bathrooms aren't even clean anymore
God, we were driving from Cambria back to LA last year and stopped at one in Ventura. I decided to wait until we got back to the house. :puke:

8. Why are all of the locks broke on their bathroom doors?
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 08:12 PM by WinterStorm
I have started bringing Kleenex along with me because they never have any TP or it's wound so tight that when you try to tear a piece off only a small piece comes off.

I feel like I can use their bathrooms even tho I don't buy anything because they have cost me tons of money in the past when I had to buy Imodian and Gas-X after eating at one of their fast food restaurants.

I also worked part time for them in High School and they worked us like dogs.


:hi:

3. Jeezus, now they're outsourcing FAST FOOD?
What's next, ordering kiosks inside the restaurants so they can get rid of the pimply faced kid behind the counter?

6. It's a logical progression.
As is the increased use of credit and debit cards to circumvent the need for printed cash....
