    McDonald's is now outsourcing some drive thru order taking jobs

    Pull off U.S. Interstate Highway 55 near Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and into the drive-through lane of a McDonald's next to the highway and you'll get fast, friendly service, even though the person taking your order is not in the restaurant - or even in Missouri.

    The order taker is in a call center in Colorado Springs, more than 900 miles, or 1,450 kilometers, away, connected to the customer and to the workers preparing the food by high-speed data lines. Even some restaurant jobs, it seems, are not immune to outsourcing.

    Very bad news for some GFY members.

              I'm guessing we will be seeing a lot of "I need a job threads" soon

                      So this means they can have people take your order who dont even know what a Big Mac tastes like because they cant afford to buy one.

                              Smart business. Companies that eliminate jobs like this will become much more profitable.

                                          Eventually they'll have machines that make all the food and the place will have one employee that takes the money, hands out the orders and mops up after closing... for $6.00/hr

                                                                                                              The order taker is in a call center in Colorado Springs, more than 900 miles, or 1,450 kilometers, away, connected to the customer and to the workers preparing the food by high-speed data lines. Even some restaurant jobs, it seems, are not immune to outsourcing.
