Comments by "Machu Pikachu" (@machupikachu1085) on "Will Robots Replace Fast Food Workers?" video.

  1. For those of you complaining about poor fast food experiences, consider this: Most people report great feedback with Chic-Fil-A and In 'n Out Burger. If they consistently have great employees, what does that tell you? Is it an employee problem, or a corporate culture problem?

  2. Your smug comment tells everyone (except you of course) why you get the salty attitude.

  3. Really? At Chic-Fil-A?

  4. Don't worry - nukes don't need that much silicon.

  5. So, you want to see an entire industry eviscerated because you don't agree with it?

  6. Ironically, you seem to have that 'attitude' It's a fast-paced, high stress job -mistakes happen. Relax. You'll survive. Be thankful that you don't have to work there; getting talked down by customers like yourself.
    2
  7. Unintended consequences always occur from 'progress'. Humans are just to smug and short sighted to figure that out yet.

  12.  @desmondtiedemann7714  Get over myself? I'm not the one having consistently lousy experiences ordering food across multiple restaurant chains. Maybe it's your fault for accepting half full baskets of fries, not verifying order at pickup, or realizing that if getting a Coke Zero accidentally is the worst part of your day, that's a pretty good GD in most people's book. But whatever, continue to blame others for your non-problems. Your choice.

  13.  @desmondtiedemann7714  instead of choosing to get what you want by being respectful to others, you would just rather replace them with robots? Gotcha. So you choose to make the most selfish decision possible to alleviate the non-problem you yourself created. You are indeed quite the piece of work, my guy. Enjoy being rude to those robots, but until then, enjoy that spit in your order with missing items.

  14.  @desmondtiedemann7714  "Oh the irony" that is indeed ironic. Previously, you respected your team and reaped the benefits of that dynamic. Yet somehow you seem to have forgotten that lesson - thus your ongoing drive-thru conundrum. "To close all I can say is where ever you are now in life is the result of the decisions you have made historically." Agreed. Due to my decisions, I've earned my satisfying and well-paying career, I live debt-free on a beach front property and currently own three sports cars along with two motorcycles. Plus, I consistently enjoy stellar customer service, accuracy and even free food items on the regular due to my decisions. In closing, you were the one that was complaining that "The number of times KFC, McDonalds have made errors in my order is a joke." I get what I get because of what I do, and you get what you get because of what you do. At least we can agree on that.

  21. and put therapists out of a job?? actually, this is a brilliant idea. Seriously.

  22.  @michaelbcohen  don't be smug. Washsdy knows how businesses work. So do we. You just agree with the methodology, that's the only difference.

  23. They fired you, huh? Sorry to hear that. Bitterness is not becoming, however.

  24.  @Somebum  why would you be sorry about my luck? I've never worked in a restaurant, and, due to my satisfying and well-paying career, I in fact live debt-free on a beach front property and currently own three sports cars along with two motorcycles. None of that really had much to do with luck. I was teasing you because you seem to be looking down on fast food employees in your post that contains multiple grammatical and syntax errors. Clearly, that irony was lost on you however. People are usually trying to do the best they can. Try not looking down on them, because they can always find a reason to do it right back. Cheers!

  25.  @Somebum  here you go, all corrected: "@Machu Pikachu Sir – I am wealthy. There is no need for me to utilize grammar or any of the crap that you have. BTW I have businesses all around the state (States?), so I know what am saying. Finally - correct this - dumb @$$." You're welcome. :) I see. Are those 'businesses' legal? Money comes and money goes, my friend. If your fiscal acumen is anywhere concomitant of your education level - such as your compositional skills would indicate - you will find yourself penurious and simply Somebum. Translation: Better keep ballin' while dem Benjamins are fallin'. YOLO - butt B sure 2 save sum gold 4 when U git old - it ain't be no joke to go broke. Peace.

  26.  @Somebum  "you got to be a frustrated teacher" nope. I'm in the post-production industry, actually. It's creative and it pays a ridiculous amount of money at our level, that's why I can afford all of those sports cars and motorcycles and live by the beach. I didn't even finish high school. I just read stuff, treat people with marginally more respect than they treat me, and use my brain.

  27. don't be so dramatic. We both know that's not true.

  28. Really? You've encountered surly Chic-Fil-A employees??

  35.  1 dequarius  agree, however I'm pretty sure that was implied by Midnightkitty. They don't care.

  46.  @notsure1920  LOL like that movie star robot from Futurama? I could see that happening.

  47. What's insane is being so GD lazy you can't even get in a car for your own drive-thru, much less cook a meal for your family. Let's be real.

  48. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You're hysterical!

  49. in an industry with no discernible competition. I'm glad someone else noticed.

  54. Yes. That is literally the reason for every single error industry-wide.

  55. Bwahahahaha! You're hysterical!

  56. Completely agree, but sadly, most people DGAF until it affects THEM directly.

  57. I can't wait for that 'error free' voice to text ordering!

  58. You can afford a $7 cup of coffee, but can't leave a tip to someone who makes less than you? Gotcha!

  59. this!

  60. nope. Just leaks carcinogenic lubricants into your food.

  61.  @Expressresolutions  so let me ask you this: If Chic-Fil-A and In 'n' Out Burger can give consistently quality experiences when other restaurants can't - is it an employee problem, or a corporate culture problem?
    1
  62. Quit making sense, Hippie. 😆

  63.  @FuckTrumpFuckYouIfYouVoted4Him  plus, they won't get off your lawn LOL!

  67. You think the employees make the food stale??
    1
  68. You have grumpy Chic-Fil-A employees??
    1
  69.  @FeatherX  generally speaking, If Chic-Fil-A and In 'n Out have great employees, what does that tell you? Is it an employee problem, or a corporate culture problem?
    1
  70.  @FeatherX  Sure, but your scenario sounds like the customer experience would not suffer however.
    1
  71.  @FeatherX  if you honestly believe it is better to replace humans with robots and deal with all of the unintended consequences of that, rather than just have a winning corporate culture such as Chic-Fil-A or In 'n Out Burger successfully utilize, than more power to you friend.

  75. what did you expect from a long form advertisement?

  76. Exactly. Or treat them like people. Someone else gets it. Cheers!

  77. LOL you're hilarious!

  78. weird how they got that wrong throughout the whole ad...
    1
  79. like voice to text does?

  80. Spoiler alert: If they are spitting in your food, you deserved it. Treat people better, and you'll be amazed what happens. Give it a try. Cheers!

  81.  @FleXxTheFuture  they are not salty to me, nor do they have errors in my orders. I wonder what the difference could be pretell?
    1
  82.  @FleXxTheFuture  In my experience people are usually trying to do the best they can. Fast food workers don't spit in my food, or mess up my orders because I'm friendly, polite, charming, and funny in my interactions with them. But most of all, I treat them with dignity. In order to have consistently good experiences ordering food across multiple restaurant chains, I suggest verifying your order at pickup, genuinely tell them something positive, and realize that if accidentally getting a Coke Zero is the worst part of your day, that's a pretty good in most people's book, as really, it’s a non-problem. In a four hour shift hemorrhaging with smug, entitled D-bags demanding perfection yesterday, a smile and a sincere complement may get you treated like royalty. LOL I can’t tell you how many free salads or nuggs I’ve received along with my correct order. Cheers!
    1
  83.  @FleXxTheFuture  how so? It costs me nothing to be polite, and roughly 10 extra seconds to verify and appreciate. For this I get stellar service, accuracy and even free items on the regular. That seems like 10 seconds well spent to me.

  84.  @FleXxTheFuture  instead of choosing to get what you want by being respectful to others, you would just rather replace them with robots? Gotcha. So you choose to make the most selfish decision possible to alleviate the non-problem you yourself created. You asked me what to do, and I was kind enough to help you out. Instead of saying thanks, you tell me to kick rocks. You wanna know why you have lousy experiences with others? Re-read the last couple of sentences. You are indeed quite the piece of work, my guy. You really should stay home and make a sandwich, as you probably shouldn't be out in public except when necessary. I've given you enough of my time. We're done here.
    1
  85.  @FleXxTheFuture  sooo... your definition of being respectful is to NOT curse out a person from whom you had asked advice, and who then was kind enough to help? Wow. Just...wow. That says it all really.

  86. You complained about the human problems, and the automation problems - which is it?

  87. enjoy the ride!

  94.  @shabba3602  "Fast food workers have been known to spit on anyone's food. " Source Please? Fast food workers don't spit in my food, or mess up my orders because I'm friendly, polite, charming, and funny in my interactions with them. But most of all, I treat them with dignity. I tried to help you by indicating your personal circumstances may well be linked to your behavior. You retort with smug hostility and assertions. Thanks for proving my point that your attitude is the problem. Enjoy that saliva. Cheers!

  95.  @shabba3602  "Do you drive your car from the trunk?" Actually, my 911 does have the engine in the back and the trunk in the front, so, I guess that would seem backwards for people who have never owned one. Sure nothing in life has 100% certainty, but since I am on a first-name basis with the few places I purchase drive thru from, that probability is indeed very low. It would take an utter sociopath to spit in a friendly, fun customer's food when there is an entire 4 hour shift of rude, entitled D-bags who want perfection yesterday who are treating you like something they dug out of their ear. Back to your point - you don't KNOW they are spitting in your food either. If you did, why TF would you go there?? Unlike you, I'm not going to assume others are gleefully trying to screw me over when there is no reason to do so. But, then again, I'm polite to people. I guess you and I are different that way. Be nice to others and enjoy the benefits, or continue to hate strangers and keep getting the treatment you complain about. Your choice.
