Have you been to a McDonald’s lately? I took a drive yesterday out into the beautiful and pleasant low country of the South. I always get this feeling after about 2 hours of driving, “why not drive across the country,” I say to myself.
I stopped for lunch at a McDonald’s I used to go to. A safe meal on the road always a good thing. What a change, no large area for seating, no Mc Coffee, just a wall with a shelf for the finished product to arrive.
You ordered a a kiosk (I knew that), but the sheer lack of any contact with a human now much more the case. I held my receipt 1305. I could see in the corner slant view of the kitchen drinks coming down the line, apparently they found a way to fill these without humans too.
We all stood around with our receipts, 1304 was next to me, focused on listening for the the finished Big Macs to be called out. Finally “1305,” I found one of the few seats in the place.
I thought to myself, that you might never see another human being in a cross country trip. I decided to give this some thought and keep my 1305 number just in case.
