Re: You want fries with that?
"I never understood why they don't have you ordering then paying at the first window, instead of ordering via microphone to drive to the first window to pay."
My hometown McD's had an order window, a pay window, and a "food" window in that order. Built ca. 1996, worked that way for a few years, then they eventually installed a conventional speaker ordering system and abandoned the first window. I preferred ordering from a human versus a noisy radio speaker.
Now don't get me started on the overly chipper recorded message that asks if you're ready to order (even if the attendant is not ready for you).
