I walk in to McDonald's and order a double-cheese burger and a small fry, to go. There are only 3 pieces of information for someone to remember given this order.

The employee says "I have a double-cheese burger, would you like anything else".

Me- "Yes, a small fry, and that is all".

"OK, a double-cheese burger and a small fry. Is this for here or to go?"

Me- "To go".

What a perfect example of being required to follow a script. This guy is less than worthless. Why don't they turn the order screens around and I can mash the picture of the item I wish to order myself?

Perhaps my meal could cost 25 cents less if they cut out the job of the brain-dead order taker.
