    That makes sense to me - if you had the choice between using a touch screen to place an order immediately or waiting in line behind 4 other people though, would you use the touchscreen then? Again, just curious, I’m not trying to make out that you’re ordering McDonalds wrong ;P

      If there are 4 people in line for a cashier, take away the cashier and you still have 4 people in line waiting for the kiosk… And it will take longer because ordering from the kiosk is a slow process.

        There’s usually like 8+ self-checkout machines though, and like one cashier

      Ooof not sure why you got downvoted.

      I’m starting to think people who hate ordering from a touchscreen really see talking to a cashier as fulfilling social needs.
