I paid ca$h.
Walked into McDonald's just now.
So the guy in Florida lied to me, He said they're rolling out that new rule Nationwide.
Agreed. Got one near my house.One chain that hasn't been mentioned here that makes great fries is Penn Station, probably one of the only sub sandwich chains that offers them.
I don't have the answer, but BK really does try to please. The 'have it your way' is pretty well embraced, and it's why, when I eat fast food, I look for one. Rings instead of fries? Piled with pickles? An app that damn near gives food away? They have me covered.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 11:45 am
How the hell did BK rank #2 on this list but In-and-Out rank only #10?!!! WTF?
Also, many noteworthy chains weren't even mentioned, such as Carl's Jr. / Hardees, Rally's / Checker's, A&W, Sonic, Culver's, and the absolutely phenomenal Whataburger.
No one can point to anywhere on this board where I have ever objected to the price of anything. If I have to pay extra for my burger to adequately compensate the human who serves me, I'm OK with that.Plate Cap wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 12:10 pmAlthough I don't enjoy the order kiosks either, I don't understand the unhappiness that I'm reading here towards the operators of the restaurants.
We can have either the traditional model that has worked for years....that being workers just entering the work force as young people, or retirees looking for additional income, and pay them according to the job they are doing................
..........or be required to pay such workers a "living wage".
Since the latter is not sustainable for delivering a $2 hamburger, automation is the only viable option. Although some love to vilify 'the man', these restaurants are the multi-million dollar investments of someone, and if money can't be made with them, the investments are better placed in savings bonds after closing the restaurant. This isn't a social experiment or a theoretic exercise. It's simple dollars and cents. Some here want to have union-waged workers everywhere, but are unhappy when the result of that are changes to the traditional norm that allows the owner to still make a reasonable return on his investment. You can't have it both ways. McDonald's is not a charity operation nor is it a bottomless pit unsustainably funded by the government to pretend some social theory actually works.
The auto industry is going/went through precisely the same thing, and is the reason for off-shoring the assembly process. People will do the job for less money elsewhere. There are some on this message board pretending to be innocent, wide-eyed, non-technical people, wandering through daily life, who pretend to be baffled by these changes. Those same people will not pay significantly more for something they can get for less, but seem to expect McDonald's to do so in order to preserve the norm of 'the good old days'.
Consumers and unionists simply cannot have their cake and eat it too. They can't get a $2 hamburger served with a big smile by someone making $25 an hour. The hamburgers can't leave the store fast enough to make that work. The slope is slippery and we are already well past the tipping point.
Don't get me wrong. They would like that. Creates an extra set of hands to get the food out.
Not in Seminole FL.
I got food poisoning when we went to Harvey's and so did my brother. We were on vacation at Wheels Inn, and it sucked. They are on my bad list.
