Degenerate yankee atheists are having a bad day.

U.S. franchisees are getting tired of playing chicken with Chick-fil-A.

A group representing national franchisee owners of McDonald's restaurants on Wednesday balked at their parent company for not offering a chicken sandwich that fairly competes with southern rival Chick-fil-A.

"A Chicken Sandwich at McDonald's should be our top priority," the National Owners Association board said in an email addressed to fellow operators. "JFK called for a man on the moon; our call should be a category leading chicken sandwich."



:lol:
McDonald's is working the problem, fam. These kiosks don't charge $15 per hour to play on their phones and sneeze on the french fries, but their sense of humor takes some managing.

McDonald's quality has gone up a bit IMHO. I absolutely love the kiosks but the implementation of them isn't uniform enough for me. Sometimes they don't take the order to your table and bring you condiments. At any rate I wish they had a cup dispenser because I feel like a dick going to the cashier and asking for the cup I just purchased from the kiosk ten feet in front of him.

A fully automated McDonald's is going to rule. Fuck the chicken sandwiches. I want robots to make my food and deliver it to me. I don't want to look at the greasy fuck faced fry basket operator when I'm ordering my fucking fast food.

You do realize doing this destroys the job market for kids just starting off in the world?

Come on, show some empathy. Where would TC be now without his degree from McDonalds' university?

I never worked for Mc Shitters... I worked for a small time family owned restaurant, since mom & pop restaurant are far and few in-between today, I am not going to deny kids the ability to learn some edict.

I started off as a dishwasher, worked my way through busboy, then food prepper, then worked my way up through working on the frier, then the grill, then helped run the kitchen. The options to do that today are more rare than ever.

People wonder why kids do what they do, it's because of shit like the automated stuff taking over. If anything they should be taking over call centers in India, they are about as effective...

I was just pulling your leg.
I agree, there are going to be fewer and fewer menial jobs to get kids started on the career ladder.
I started in the cellars of a hotel sorting the empty bottles into the correct crates to be picked up for re-use. So long ago that bottles had returnable deposits on them.

I don't think a machine will be able to be a full chef until after long I'm retired though.

I bet the fine dining movement will be doing awesome dishes with 3d printers soon though.

There will be a demand for chefs regardless how automated cooking gets.
