I recently got off a long international flight and decided I was tired and hungry enough to eat at a Taco Bell for the first time in years. I pulled up and was faced with an AI speaker instead of the system I’ve lived my entire life using at all fast food drive throughs. I loudly said “Im not talking to fucking AI” and promptly drove to the chick fil a right next door and talked to a human face to face to order.
I rarely eat fast food so I’ve since learned they usually have someone monitoring the system to fix its mistakes. I also assume they record it all so I should have let them know they’ve lost a customer for life. Granted I didn’t go enough to really matter anyway, but that will be the last time and I’ll make sure I let the next chain know if this happens again.
I’d rather have a touch screen in the drive thru and all the problems that come with that than have a fucking toaster talk to me and be the gatekeeper of my food order.
Yes I’m aware someone would criticize that move. The ship has sailed on ethical consumption under capitalism, brother/sister.
Tired, hungry, and now angry and annoyed, I wasn’t trying to figure out which evil company would benefit least from my $25.

That’s… not better, you know that right? The owners of chick fil a have funded some pretty horrendous anti-LGBQT organizations
