/ck/ - Food & Cooking

you pay before getting your food either way

Huh?

The app gives me coupons and lets me customize easily.
And they don't charge you until you actually pick up your food.

>"The food inside is already ready and takes 2 min to prepare."
You drunk OP?

>>15884812
there's no benefit to calling in food orders. if you do this or order thru the mobile app, your food will be cold.

I said it takes 2 min to repair because they have the patties in hot boxes and they simply put it on the bun.

Is it impossible to order 2 min before you arrive?

to the customer...
fuck McDicks spyware. smartphones are for hipsters and metrosexuals anyway. only NPCs have them

The only fast food app I use is Whataburger's because they're based, tasty, I eat there all the time and I get myself a free cinnamon roll every 5 visits

>>15884798
this.
the app is free and gives you "great deals" with coupons because you, the user, are the product.
everything you choose, what time you purchase it, how much you spent, your age, sex, location etc is all just data mining.
because raw data is more valuable than actually selling you a burger these days.

I use White Castle's app because all the White Castles in my area are staffed by niggers that take forever to cook anything.

>>15884906
>noooo McDonald's is gonna know what burger order I like holy fuckkkk noooooo!!!

>>15884834
My food hasn't been cold yet, I use the app at least twice a week.

There isn't any food inside your phone, fatass.

>>15884798
>Although the coupons on the app are legit, you are kissing their ass if you pre-pay them through the app.
>Although you will legitimately save money, my random chucklefuck ass will get mad on the internet because no good reason.
You’re either just an autistic retard, or a burger-assembling wagie who’s mad that in addition to counter and drive-thru orders, there’s now another mechanism by which you have to actually do your job, and it cuts in to your usual “taking out the trash” time where you dude-weed in the dumpster enclosure.

>Know everything they have
>Know the exact price I'll pay
>Get coupons and shit
>Ordering is "I put a mobile order in, my name is Anon."
>Don't have to get my wallet out

I've literally cut people off in the drive through and they liked it since I was at the speaker and through the payment and pickup window before they even finished their order.

>>15884921
the collected data from all of you NPCs was used to shape this great and wonderful society we live in now

>>15884812
Customization is the big reason I order online/app if possible. If I order at the store there is a 90% chance they fuck up my directions. If I order online/app it's only like 50%. God I wish niggers didn't exist.

i used to work for a doordash style of app where i had to order the food myself and then pay with a company card. technically i could order through the app but it's a waste of time because when i go inside it's prepared within 1-5 minutes. it's also good for the customer because it's as hot as possible.

>>15884798
I went to McDonald's last night, and absolutely used the app to make my order. It's the year 2021 and I'm not living in the past. I got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I received my food from outside having a cigarette.

She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.

I used the app again tonight too and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'. For the record, I am from a conservative state, so eating inside isn't taboo like in some liberal shithole.

That request really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.

Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas. Which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?

So /ck/, how do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?

>>15884798
they dont actually place the order until you are nearby the mcdonalds, unless you are using some 3rd world app

>>15884984
>standard of living is a valuable metric and not skewed by the super wealthy
bootlicker

>>15885115
This.
“Standard of living” analysis never take basic necessities of life into account.
Instead it just awards scores based on Rolls Royces per capita. But luckily, the Illuminati who fund it have underestimated the ability of us gamers to rise up and find the truth.

>>15885115
>noooo I hate clean water and instant access to everything
>>15885204
lol what? fewer people than ever are starving to death. America doesn't even keep a record of how many people starve to death, because it's considered a freak occurrence. People in America were still starving to death as recently as the 1970s. that's not even talking about the rest of the world.

>>15884798
The deals ain't even that good anymore. They were better like 2-4 years ago

You an appalling race traitor and globalist elite supporter if you buy from any large chain restaurant. Support local businesses. Boycott any company pushing Marxism. Give your kids a fair go at a future. A hex, a pox on McDonalds. You'll eat better too.

>>15884798
social anxiety is a thing

I don't do this with mcdonald's but I do it with Wendy's because they always fuck up my order and I've had a much higher success rate when ordering on my phone

>>15884980
Can it, Jethro. I live in an all hick area (might have seen you a couple times) and they 100.00% always ruin my order. Most of the time, while acting like missing items are expected.

Damn bk removed their $3 snack box

>>15888001
They got rid of most of the good coupons the $3 deal was one of the best deals

>>15885017
you sound like you have no friends

>>15887892
Nice deal, bud

I exclusively use the app to order my food from MDs Since my location has closed entering the place, your options are: Curbside pick up or drive through.

Almost every time I have been there it has been faster to do curbside pick up. I get coupons, I get to properly customize my order (I have had none of my orders messed up since using the app), and I don't have to talk to anyone. Before the store was closed to dine in, I typically would get my food before other people who entered at the same time did.

So why is using the app useless then? Are you a schizo?

>>15888480
Fuck covid. Fuck fast food restaurants fake ass rules

>>15888497
Take your meds.

>>15888480
Ok chud

>ordering from Mcdonald's in the first place

>>15884798
Ordering through the app is the secret way to actually getting a freshly cooked burger at McDicks. If you customize a burger item with the "salt: none" option, they have to make it to order because every other patty is salted as it cooks on the grill so it can be ready for customers in the way you're describing, sitting around waiting to be put on a bun.

EVERY SINGLE TIME
I have asked for no salt through the app, the burger literally has juice almost seeping out of the wrapper from how fresh it was made.

This is how I know for a fact you are the biggest 21st century brainlet in existence

my mconald's app has a free chicken sandwich with any $1 purchase

>>15884798
>n-no you’re a c-cuck if you take the same amount to type your order into your food! It’s already pre-made so you should pay full price instead of taking the same amount of time to order and save money!

Imagine being upset about people ordering food through apps. A lot of McDonald’s have the touchscreen order computers not anyway so what’s the difference if you take care of that from the comfort of your knowing some kid didn’t wipe boogers all over the screen?

>>15884892
Post phone. I bet you have a smartphone and just want to act cool. Anybody who cries about “le hipster npcs” on a cooking board is not over 18 and has never used a computer to post on 4chan in their life.

WAGMI

>new thing bad

I use the app so they fire more minimum wagies and increase unemployment, meaning minimum wage will be harder to increase.

>>15884798
While we're talking about McD's can you guys please stop ordering fries with no salt to get them fresher? They are already fresh, every fatass who walks in here orders fries. The demand is so high that we're constantly making fresh baskets.

And if you actually need to cut down salt on your diet:

1. Why are you eating at McDonald's?

2. Your fries already don't have salt. We run out during breakfast and are too lazy to go get more. If you come in after 11:00 your fries will be unsalted.

>>15884906
They know all that info anyway based on your card number/cardholder name

No smartphone pal. Like I said, I'm not a hipster or a metrosexual. Got a land line, DSL, a desktop computer and pic related

>>15884798
Coupons nigger. The only reason I ever eat mcdonalds, or most any fast food place is when I want to save a buck. Even then that's only when they do crazy sales like dollar big macs, or AnW two dollar mamas or shit.

>>15884798
>use the public kiosk during a global pandemic
Yeah, nahhh

>>15884909
I've probably went to a white castle 25-50 times in my life and I guarantee 7+ of the 10 longest wait times I've ever had were there. by far the slowest faggots

There are usually 5-6 "general" deals, and then 2-3 targetted toward your tastes. I get a lot of coffee from McDs since my security job is next door to one. Every 5 Coffees I get, I get a free coffee (this is a general deal) and also with the purchase of any coffee I can get a free breakfast item (morning) or bakery item (anytime). That one is targeted. My coworkers never see the 2nd deal, ever, because they don't get breakfast/bakery items ever. Some mornings I can get a free coffee, with free espresso adds, and a free cinnamon roll. All because I use an app.

If I went in everyday for coffee without the app I'd never get free items, ever. As it stands 1x a week I get a free breakfast item, and 2x a week I get free coffees.

>>15890468
But mininal nutritional value, gives you half your daily calories and leaves you hungry within an hour?

>>15891797
Thanks for the info bud. I always wondered if the deals were targeted, along with the free coffee deals.

ftfy

>>15884834
have you ever worked fast food? This is true if it is dead but if there is a rush you will be waiting for your food much longer if you don't mobile order

I won't order mcdonalds anymore if it ISNT through the app. The coupons make it worth.

>>15891503

>>15884834
>if you do this or order thru the mobile app, your food will be cold.
They just leave it on the hot thing to keep it hot bro
like if you go to the counter and say "one freedom fries please" they don't go off to the fryer, they call in a fries order and then take a cardboard of fries off the hot thing

>people conditioned into willingly giving away their data to corporations for the ability to give that corporation more money to buy their products because they get a couple dollarydoos off their big mac and nuggies

>what's the harm?
says every lazy bootlicker

>>15884798
If it means I don't have to speak to a single person I'll continue doing it.

>>15893076
what data? What could I even possibly give them.

>>15893266
Have you looked at the permissions you give them? It most certainly has read/write and location permissions, lets not forget advertising on top of just permissions. Let me ask you a question, which do you think is more likely; McDonalds is giving consumers this app and the coupons at great loss to the company for no reason, or they benefit enough from you having that app that it is worth it to them to give you coupons for free? Clearly the benefit from it more than you do, or else why would they do it?

>>15884906
You realize that they still do loads of data collection on you regardless of if you use the app or not right?

Every menu change throughout history is based on data collection

>>15893796
not arguing about the data collection but you're totally off on what promotions cost the company
they're done in such a way that the accompanying minimum purchase or average total order covers the cost and still generates profit

>>15893796
>Presses no when it asks for location
>What do you think they gain from the coupons

They're targeted to entice you to go get the specific things you get which isn't a loss to them their margins are ridiculous.

You're already giving them loads of info regardless of app use though

>>15884798
if you go to mcdonalds or any other fast food place ever you're a fucking manchild

>>15893865
>>15893875

That is my point, in the end they will always benefit more than the consumer or else they wouldn't be doing it. Even if they somehow dont profit off of the sale, they profit off of the perceived earnings reflected in their stock valuation.

You are also giving them your behavior as data, when and where you buy, what you buy. Even without location data they can tell based on the locations you order from. You also have to trust they aren't doing anything with data like contacts and anything in your storage which they have access to when you accept permissions. I'm pretty sure many of these types of apps don't work unless they allow for notifications, and that advertisement on one of your most used devices alone has lots of value. All of it adds up to being worth way more than the 2$ or whatever discount you get when you get a combo

>>15893923
They wouldn't exist if the consumer benefitted more than they did. You can remain completely anonymous and use the app if you want.

They want you to use the app less because of data collection and more because it lowers the investment required to order food and when people go through their phones there's a mcdonalds logo. Same reason drive throughs exist and they have the giant signs.

Most of their data collection is the exact same data they collect without the app.

>>15884798
Taco Bell lets you make a custom cravings box now, but only through the app.

>>15884798
fuck off
I order all the time from the app
then i drive into the place

EVERY FUCKING TIME
