    I live in Ireland and I like McDonalds occasionally. But there is no doubt that there food is quite expensive and they aren’t innovating. Once a month there will be some new burger which is usually just the same as a normal burger but with bacon or bbq sauce or some shit but it’s just boring and lazy marketing. What is worse than the food is the entire ordering experience - those bullshit kiosks are very time consuming and aggravating to use and then because they’re cutting staff you can look forward to a 5 or 10 minute wait for food to appear. I remember when I worked in McDs at peak periods you’d get your food almost as soon as you ordered it (unless it was a grill item) but not any more.

        I find them frustrating, because they are slow. There’s no reason why they couldn’t put a decent processor in them and have them actually function properly. Half the time I press a button and then end up hitting it again cause I don’t know if it read the first press, since the feedback it so slow.

        The Lowes near me just recently switched to newer self-serve kiosks that actually work, it’s amazing how much better an experience it is.
