BREAKING
NEWS - The Diary Of A Silly Old Man is able to
exclusively tell my readers that McDonald's is planning
to open a series of deep space restaurants, the first
will be on Jupiter's third moon Ganymead. So if Captain
Kirk fancies a Big Mac or C3PO wants a Happy Meal the
world's largest fast food company will be there to meet
their needs.
Quite by chance I discovered last
week that McDonald's is trialling its stellar operations
in a Bristol restaurant. My friends your secret is
out !
I had taken my granddaughter to
McDonalds so she could have her Happy Meal and spin
It
was lunch time yet the restaurant was close to being
empty. I wonder why ?
As we walked through the door instead
of being met by staff at a series of tills waiting to
take our order there was a line of robots with their
self-service touch screens.
I turned to my granddaughter and
said: This is one of those horrible new places,
let's go somewhere else !
I was overheard by a member of staff
who opened a proper till and served us.
These impersonal robots waiting to
take you order may be fine for the crew of the Starship
Enterprise but I will never use them. I am sure their
operators will fob customers off by saying the robots
are there for convenience but the truth is they are a
cheap way of processing cash cows along the conveyor
belt.
Judging by the lunchtime trade in
this Bristol branch there would be more customers on
Jupiter's moon Ganymead than there were at its silly
robotic screens.
I would never trust such a system. I
like my burgers plain, without all the muck McDonald's
insist on slopping over everything. It can be hard
enough trying to tell a real person that a plain cheese
burger means the burger, cheese and the bun without
relish so what chance would I have using a silly robot ?
I use the word SILLY with purpose.
As a kid robots were science fiction,
something we dreamed about having in our daily lives.
Now we have them. Robots are retarded !
Do
you use the self check out system in your local
supermarket. You know - UNIDENTIFIED ITEM IN THE
BAGGING AREA. Are these robots thick, stupid or what
?
My car has its own robot. The robot
that will turn on the wipers on a clear blue sky day.
The robot that will light up the frost warning light in
a heat wave.
I HATE robots. If a fast food
restaurant thinks I will use one to order my food then I
would direct them to a hit song The Bay City Rollers had
a few, quite a few, years ago.
