They had a sales counter with registers but nobody working them. When I inquired of how to place my order, they told me I needed to use the mobile app or the kiosk. I asked them, but what if I’m paying cash. They asked me why? Don’t you have a credit card. I told them no, and they basically told me I was out of luck. I turned around and walked out and I will never go back again. Later on I heard the food was awful anyways. So I really didn’t miss anything.

I've stopped patronizing any businesses that do not accept cash. I get very annoyed when I go to a WalMart checkout, ring up all my items, and then get informed that the machine does not take cash and was not informed beforehand by signs or verbally of that fact. Last time this happened to me I had a bunch of frozen food items, nearly a full cartload, over $400 worth. I didn't have my cards with me, and I wasn't going to go back to my house 25 miles away to retrieve them. I had cash in hand. When I looked around for assistance and finally got the attention of an employee she couldn't help me, so she called down her manager, and that took way longer than I wanted to wait. When the manager arrived she informed me that I would have to take my items to another machine and rescan all of it. I was pissed and informed her that WalMart doesn't pay me to do that and that they could just keep it. She got mad and stated that I needed to return the items. I rebuffed her by again stating that I'm not a WalMart employee, and apparently WalMart doesn't really want me as a customer either. Then I just walked away. Screw WalMart.

I walk in, I see kiosk and no one at counter, I see customers just standing there, I leave...

I rarely eat at McDonalds. Recently my wife was in a hospital for the day (outpatient). The hospital cafeteria was closed. So, I went across the street to a McDonalds. There was nobody at the counter. There were 4 kiosks waiting for my input. Well, I went through the learning process of dealing with their user interface. I finished inputting my order and was ready to pay. There was no way to get a total or a way to complete the transaction. I fiddled around with the kiosk for several minutes trying to complete the transaction. No luck. An employee saw me and offered to take my order. I complained about the kiosk and he just shrugged his shoulders and said "yep...I know". So, I placed my order with the human and assumed I was making progress. Nope! His register ran out of receipt paper. So he disappeared for several minutes while hunting down a roll of receipt paper. Needless to say, I won't be going back to McDonalds unless there are no other choices.

I don't go inside McDonald's because it's always horrible. The one time I tried to order the machine wouldn't recognize my fingers. The manager came out and had to touch screen so it would work. Then the machine couldn't make a special order so he yelled it to the cook. McDonald's makes ALOT of extra money not having people inside, no refills, no bathroom use, no condiments, no extra cleaning. I'd don't see anything getting better for these mega old time fast food places anymore. Just go to small startups for better food and service.

Nope i talk to people face to face if i can't do that then ill go elsewhere

If CBS 8 San Diego wants to keep getting those precious advertising dollars from McDonalds they know not to say anything negative about McDonalds.

About 2 years ago I wanted a basic cheeseburger at McD's and they directed me to use the kiosk. The menu on the kiosk was like a series of advertisements for premium products which I didn't want. Basic items weren't even on the front page, I had to scroll through several pages just to find cheeseburger, so I walked out and haven't been back since.

It did make a difference, my dad got screwed over by McDonald's in the 90s he made us stop eating McDonald's the stock would drop to 12$ the super size me movie came out almost ended McDonald's

Don't feel bad, I have a Bachelor in Information Systems and I find the kiosks also frustrating and confusing lol

I live in NYC. The McDonald's in my area has no cashiers. They "Do Not" except cash. You can only pay with a debt or credit card. You can only order from kiosks.

It’s easy enough to fix - if you don’t see a person to take your order, leave, and tell them why if you have the chance. I refuse to use the drive through, my order is never right when I do that. If somebody doesn’t want to take my order when I go inside, they don’t get my business, simple as that. There’s always another place to eat that actually wants your business a mile down the road, or sometimes even next door or across the street.

They keep showing us the Drive-Thru, and not the kiosk!

If the kiosks are out of order, are they going to shut the restaurant down?

Not sure why showing b-roll of a 20-year-old menu was relevant, but, okay. On topic though, it's not just McD's, all the fast food joints and the grocery stores are resorting to self-serve kiosks/lanes. I went to Taco Bell in my area one time wanting to actually order at the register, and the employees were just kind of hanging back and acting like they didn't see me hoping I would just turn around and use the kisks behind me. I wanted to get their opinion about something new and I was paying with cash.

McDonald's menus don't put all the things you can order on them, nor the prices.

You do realize how many items are on the menu boards right? Since there is the requirement to put calorie info on the menu it means they have to decide to either put less on the boards or have so many boards that you would then complain that there was too much to read

I haven't actually used cash in years. I prefer it that way. But if you like using cash just be more careful about where you go. The McDonalds near me still has a single register with a person inside the store if you don't want to use self-service.

This same thing happened at most fast food places in one of our counties in MD when they decided to raise minimum wage to $15/hr. Even the credit union branches moved to video tellers who are not physically located there. This is generally what happens when you try to artificially inflate labor costs....companies cut labor and just replace them outright. And we all hate these self checkout lines and crap but yet still use them.

I just gave up on mcdonalds.

My McDonald's in Massachusetts has the kiosks but I've never had to use it. In this particular McDonald's that I go to it's not a very big location in you can see most of the kitchen from where the cash registers are so anyone in the kitchen can see someone standing and waiting to order.

I'm surprised that's legal. I thought companies were legally required to accept all U.S. currencies.

I hate when businesses try to force me to order at a kiosk. Most of them are a pain in the butt. Then some of them can't do special orders, like no onion or tomato. I was at an airport Burger King that was trying to force people to use the kiosk but it didn't have the option to do special orders and even some menu items were missing. So had to wait in line and like 20 people who were behind me were able to order at the kiosk and get their food before I ever ordered.

This is what to expect from $20 or more an hour per employee.

Store owners learned during the pandemic that if you close the lobbies to customers and hand over bags out a window, you don't have to have anyone on site who speaks English. It's the same oversight we who drive have come to expect from the Department of Motor Vehicles.

They have had them in our area in the Midwest for at least 6 years, I used it once as it was not intuitive and took what I felt was too long to place an order. Most cashiers are well versed in the screens for items and can place my order faster than I can. Let's be honest, if I wanted to use a screen to place an order, I would get the companies app. Also, people tend to shy away from the in person, social interactions of society, which I hear a lot being blamed on "anxiety" or "nervousness" or worse, the age old leaned on "adhd"

If im going to do all the work, ordering, scanning, bagging, self pay, no payment options then i should get a discount. By the way if you need to save minutes in your day by using selfcheckout your doing something wrong. Not to mention each self serve eliminates at least 2 work shifts that can go to people who need the job for whatever reason.

We went to a Mickey Dees a few months ago in desperation because it was the only fast food place nearby. The kiosk was non functional so we stood in line and no one took our order. Other customers who managed to get their orders in, were waiting in frustration in a long line because ALL the workers were servicing the drive up window.

Yep, that's the main reason I will not step inside a McDonalds anymore. The last time I went inside and was confronted with the kiosk, it wasn't allowing me to finalize my order. All the employees behind the counter ignored me and so I just walked out and went elsewhere.

Hahaha. I hadn't been inside a McDonald's for 20 years and tried one a few years ago and found the giant self-ordering touch screen. I'm a software engineer specializing in human interfaces and I had no clue how to use it. I just left. I really didn't need to be eating that food anyways so I'll take the win. No interest in returning. See videos saying the food there is very expensive now too.

Their kiosks aren't that difficult to use. As for the layout and order flow, that's intentional to add some friction to encourage the customer to order more. Many McDs will allow the customer to order with a person if they ask. Many don't know that or don't want to wait for an employee.

Soon, I will be moving to a state where it is the law that ALL businesses open to the public must accept cash.

Had a very similar experience in El Pollo Loco. The burrito I usually ordered went up a dollar, and they installed a touch screen and was told I had to use it. I said no I don't and walked out.

I am sure they could retain a cashier, but would you be willing to pay a $10 service fee for using a cashier? or Would you prefer to add on another $3 to $8 for the cost of meals?

Then that person just took over and finished ringing up our order while the guy stood there. Everyone there was speaking a language other than English. Whatever it was, they were all speaking it. It sounded like Hindi, but I am guessing. This was a first for me. And a last, since I haven't been back there since.

Now it’s only a small minority of the population that even remembers having someone who pumped your gas (except in Oregon?) or you had to walk inside to pay. Eventually we won’t have to interact with anyone in the general public.
