Not like I was going to burger king anyway but this is a solid reason not to
I wish I could explain to companies how fucking awkward and horrible it feels to be on the receiving end of forced gratitude. Even if I liked the restaurant, I wouldn't be able to go if they did this.
I guess it's no surprise that rich people think the experience is still the same with or without the consent of the providing party.
They don’t care. They only care about like go up.
They’re hoping to phase out human employees ASAP.
Or to have someone to blame when the line goes down
