      Was this about AI or about how shitty their drive-thru is currently.

      Because this is what it feels like currently. I’d hate to hear what happens when it’s all AI.

        is their drive thru shit? when my mother visits in the morning she stops by McDs to grab me a cheap coffee. I keep telling her gas station is good enough (someone bringing you coffee doesn’t have to be fancy, it’s always a sign of love. unless you’re Stevie Ray Vaughan) but she doesn’t want to get out of the car, y’know? i think she likes their breakfast biscuits but i keep telling her to spend a dollar more on one at the good coffee shop because their gouda is

        normally i’d be all anti-chain about it, but the dude who owns all the McDs franchises in the county is cool.
