I'm not a big customer of fast food places, visiting them less than once a week on average except when I'm traveling. The first time I noticed something I really don't like at a McDonald's was in Carson City, NV when I was forced to order at the new kiosk. They had someone there to help, but I didn't like it. The one think you can count on at McDonald's is consistent food, and I like the $1 soft drinks, but I want to give my order to a human and some of them don't even offer that option anymore unless you use the drive-thru, which I also don't like.
I've lived in Meridian for nine months now and never visited the local McDonald's. Yesterday my wife didn't feel like fixing anything for dinner and I didn't feel like eating any of the leftovers we had, so why not go visit the local McDonald's? They just redid the interior and we thought we would check it out.
When we got there, there was a girl at the cash register, so it looked like we could even order from a human. But I didn't want the standard order, I wanted a Quarter Pounder meal with a salad instead of fries. She couldn't figure out how to do that (been there three whole days) and the more experienced person who should have helped her out wasn't any help either.
Fine! I'll order from the kiosk then! But I couldn't figure out how to substitute a salad either. I've done it at least once before, but this one was a little different. So I gave up and got the burger and a drink and skipped anything else. I didn't really need it anyway.
So I'm giving up on McDonald's as long as they continue to force kiosk ordering on everyone. And if any other chains start doing it I'll boycott them too.
I want to order from a person when I go out to eat, not from some computer screen.
