McDonald's is now outsourcing some drive thru order taking jobs - GoFuckYourself.com

Mr.Fiction · 07-18-2004, 07:24 PM

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.

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.

Probono · 07-18-2004, 08:31 PM

Probably inmate labor, who else earns less than a McDonald's employee.

Rankings · 07-18-2004, 08:33 PM

unreal. don't they fuck shit up bad enough now and they are right there. fuck

mardigras · 07-18-2004, 08:51 PM

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

I cant help but be afraid that this is true

CarnivalOfWhores · 07-19-2004, 02:54 AM

Haven't eaten at MickeyD's in years and years. Factory farming was the first reason I stopped eating there and the second one was that no one ever seemed to speak any english at MCDs after about 1992.

kowntafit · 07-19-2004, 03:03 AM

So I guess the service will be as real as the food.

pure energy · 07-19-2004, 03:08 AM

oh shit this can't be true...i don't believe it

From a business view point it's smart.

Prison Labor is cheap.

That should make more profit for the stock

Yeah, once this is outsourced to India, we'll be going back to the old days when no one can understand what is being said when the person taking your order is speaking to you.
