I'm gonna boycott McDonald's

Everybody knows you go to the Wendy's in Price.

Nice to see you have a backbone about something. Weird place to start, but at least it's something.

This is a very underrated post.

It's been a long time since I've ordered food from a McDonalds. I'm not boycotting, I just don't go there.

Freddy's burgers and frozen custards are good, but I prefer a more substantial fry.

Kiosks are great. Use them often at the Costco food court. I smh at the line of fools waiting to place their order with a real person. It's way faster to use one of the six kiosks. Plus, using the kiosks reminds me of kioskos in Argentina - just because of the similarity in name, not the usage.

I've probably shared this here before, but one day we went to a kiosko in search of eggs for a cake we were making for an impromptu birthday party. I walk in and ask the guy, in Spanish castellano, if he has any eggs. He just looks at me weird, so I repeat the question. He then turns, gets the eggs, and we complete the purchase. After leaving the establishment, my native companion started busting up laughing. He explained that I should not ask if he has eggs, but rather if there are eggs.

Funny story about the Wendy's in Price. Between moab, lake powell, canyoneering, we find ourselves driving through Price all the time and we would typically stop at Wendy's on the way through. I would typically go with a single or double with cheese, but my son would always order whatever crazy special burger they had. Triple bacon whatever. And no veggies. Then we would drive off and the kids would grad their food and my wife would be handing out knapkins, etc. Finally, I would ask my wife to hand me my burger (the last thing in the bag) so I could eat and drive, and out would come this weird burger my son had ordered. I would look back at him and he would be finishing off the last bite of my sandwich. He would just reached in the bag and grabbed whatever and never bother or care that it was not what he ordered. Then I would have no choice but to eat his.

Dang kid did this all the time. Everyone always thought it was hilarious.

Agree. President Trump should have only served Wendy's to the Clemson football team. But because PUTIN he also served McD's. Sad!

The Shake Shacks in Houston have kiosk ordering.

Awesome... we are getting a new Shake Shack about a block away from us. I hope they put in kiosk ordering. I speak better computer languages than I do Spanish so it makes ordering much easier. I only know to swear in Spanish any more and hamburguesa de mierda is not very tasty.

Nice neighborhood. No wonder you need such a robust home surveillance system.

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.

I much prefer the lack of human interaction that is associated with ordering from a kiosk. My major complaint about McDonalds is the one closest to me does not have a Pokestop. That is unforgiveable.

Even though you are my sworn nemesis and I hope for horrible things to happen to you, this is too much pain to be inflicted upon you.

I ate at Shake Shack in Dallas on Wednesday. No kiosks. It was kind of weird ordering my shake shack burger without a kiosk. I’ve been visiting Dallas more and more lately. Let me know when your shake shack is up and running and I’ll come buy you a burger.

This is a funny post. Order each item separately. Problem solved.

That might cost an extra 50 cents.
