I think outsourcing the order-taking is not really going to help streamline anything.

One more reason why I won't use drive-throughs, though. Who said it, that they like to know the counter person is actually focused on taking their order? Yeah, I agree. I want to know that when I want my burger plain, that they actually type it into the little system.

I despise the self-checkouts and refuse to use them. Sure, they're efficient, but ick. I hate how slow they are, step by incremental step. I hated the the kiosks at DCA, too, when they had them at the burger place. I wrote to the company how much I hated them and didn't go back until one day I saw that somebody had decided to take the stupid things out. I liked the food, but those kiosks... no.

I am just the opposite: I love self-checkouts. Typically, there isn't a line for them and I can get through quickly. Also, my impatient self hates standing around while someone else is doing something: at least if I am doing the scanning etc., I am doing something and the time goes more quickly.

And the likelihood of getting stuck behind someone who doesn't start writing ANY portion of their check until they are given the total is eliminated.

You should come around here. WAY too much ice in the drinks. I figure there should be a little bit left in the bottom of the cup when I'm done drinking. And yet I usually have half a large cup full of ice.

I usually use the self-check out at Home Depot, just because it's shorter usually, unless I'm getting something big and bulky that I'm NOT going to be lifting up to try to scan.
