Where I'm from, they play what sounds like a prerecorded greeting. If there is a male cashier, it will be a pre-recorded female greeting. If there is a female cashier, it will be a pre-recorded male greeting. So, no only will that person not make you a sandwich today, but that person who said the greeting is probably not even in the building.
Yeah but not all Prisons are the same......

One wonders what will become of all the displaced low skilled labor in the world.

It's going to increasingly become a problem as more of these industries shift everything to automated labor. I heard recently that Wendy's is planning on replacing front counter workers with self-serve kiosks. Fun times ahead. Just hope it doesn't end up in revolution.

They train the Chick-fil-a employees to say "my pleasure" when you say "thank you".

I just thought they were really nice workers

Actually he isn't. He has cultivated that personality just for that show. Talk to anyone who knows him personally or has met him personally and you'll find he's actually just an everyday guy (with amazing cooking skills).

I've read this as well.

the best thing about this is that you should thank them as many times as you can, throughout the interaction. It's hilarious watching them "my pleasure" you every single time, and all throughout the smiles.

OK, so that's $.50 less but my phone doesn't do "apps". I call it the "Barney Rubble" phone LOL. 110% theft-proof, even a homeless person wouldent steal it, close to indestructible and with 25 pixels to drive the battery last's for 4-5 days. The alarm sound is also 100% effective, it's the most annoying, ear-gnawing sound imaginable delivered at an amazing loudness for such a small device.
"Last's"

please tell me that was a typo.

I had the 2 for $5 last night. Was a mistake. Ordered the fish patty and quarter pounder.

Goddammit my body shut down. Goddammit McDonald's has the most bland flavorless food products.

Goddammit!

Food snobs need to be immobilized and a Big Mac shoved down your throat, it's for the better, you'll see!.

Meh. I'll eat one if it's free and I'm hungry or I'm hungry and there's no other choice. I'm not actually going to give them cash for one out of choice though.

That's hardly being a food snob it's just paying attention to what you stick in your mouth!

"Good lord McDonald's patrons are so stupid" should be the thread topic. Who the hell gets a triple cheese burger (McShit makes those?!) and a damn diet Coke! ROFL

Ah, is McDonalds in the US finally jumping onto the "bespoke"-trend? Same crap, but feeling special while ordering it

Yea, valid point. Guess I'm just jealous because I can't afford to visit the UK to get a proper fish+chips!, I've heard from a former co-worker that what we have here is a LAUGHABLY poor imitation..

If I order the fish sandwich I INSIST it be fried right then, I've had too many bad experiences with pre-cooked fried product, it JUST WON'T work!, you HAVE to cook fried fish/chicken to order and explain to the customer that the few minutes that he/she spent waiting will be WELL spent once you start eating it.

I'm taking the kids to the beach today, we'll get fish and chips there!
It's hard to mess up fish and chips! Unless they aren't using decent batter, or decent fish, or frying it to order in front of you... Hmm, forget what I said. It's easy to mess up fish and chips!

What do you mean by "plain"?

It's fish and chips, it's not curry. It tastes of cod, batter and fried potatoes. You can add salt, vinegar and (maybe) tartar sauce.
What are you wanting it to taste of?
