On the news, they were reporting that a fast food joint was taking orders through its speaker when you drove up, that was being answered by a person in INDIA, who input the order in the computer that notified the workers of what the person ordered.

Since the person on the other end of the speaker is likely a minimum wage employee, how could this have saved very much money.

They had to switch to a live person on the mic when the customers found out about it. They were complaining too much...

Now that's a franchisee that has gone too far IMO.

I'm not sure who that is but they have been doing that for quite some time now. Crazy isn't it?

Who is it? I could have fun with that!

INDEED...too friggin far.

I don't see why "too far". If I choose to yell at an inanimate box to order my food, why should I care if the voice on the other end is in India or 40 feet away?

I still get the glorious pleasure of dealing with a 17 year old American inside the building who can't calculate my change if I hand him 3 pennies after the register does the math for him.
