I'm a vegetarian. Ordering an impossible burger off the broiler from Burger King always seems to make the drive-thru person want to fight me, for some reason. They're often too occupied to hear what I'm saying well, and they don't always put it on the screen right away. When I ask to confirm it, ~80% of the time they give me lip service.
This is my metric. As long as Burger King keeps giving me shit, I'm in favor of AI replacing their jobs. If they were kinder, I would never think this. To be honest, this experience has kept me from going to Burger King most times. Try ordering this at 10 places that aren't dead and you'll see what I mean.
You're talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.
Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.
Well that's a wild assumption.
I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I'm not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.
