I gotta be honest, kids

Uber Eats/DoorDash/etc have made the fast food experience worse in every possible way

Quiet public

@coriander in what sense

Quiet public

@monorail Like, the food itself hasn't changed, but going to a mcdonalds to get some of that food sucks more than it ever has and in new and exciting ways

Quiet public

@coriander maybe it's different in the states /shrug

Quiet public

@coriander i just go to the restaurant and either ask a person for food or tap on a screen for a while and then either way i stand around for a while and get handed food

Quiet public

@monorail The one near me doesn't even have anyone manning the single register so if you go in you gotta do the screen, which is whatever honestly I'm not gonna yell about the screens, but there's something about the actual inside of the restaurant that just Sucks now. Like they basically gear the entire thing toward delivery drivers, you can't even grab your own straw or napkins if you happen to be eating at one of the 4 tables in there. I don't like it

Quiet public

@coriander ah yeah i've never seen that

Quiet public

@coriander i do like using the screens anyway

Quiet public

@monorail Yeah honestly in isolation I think the screens are okay, at least I know for a fact that No Onions got entered on my burger because I saw myself push the No Onions button

Quiet public

@monorail I've also never been the kind of person to yell about self checkout at grocery stores either

Quiet public

@coriander dude i will stand in a line twice as long if i get to use the self checkout

@monorail Accessible design for social anxiety havers

Quiet public

@aescling @monorail For the longest time I literally couldn't go through drive thrus, I would go in every fast food place because I would rather talk to a person than talk to a microphone

Quiet public

@coriander also they have "one line that feeds into all the self checkout kiosks" but at the cashiers you have to guess which line will be fastest
