Ideally in the future you download an app to your own phone, and order before entering the store, so you just wait for your number and eat.

In Northern Ireland we have this place here:
http://www.buildaburgerbelfast.com/
It is absolutely incredible. £5 for a burger with absolutely anything you want on it, plus chips. Add an extra £2 if you want more steak/brisket/pulled pork/chicken. My work is just around the corner so I'm there at least 2 or 3 times a week.

Who goes to a fast food joint to sit in and order. If I wanted a more premium experience I'd go somewhere else not eat in a Mcdonalds.

I picture you standing near the entrance looking at people entering and mumbling 'hmpf, peasants, I'm too good for this'.

Oh man, why is this not possible already?
Customize & order your meal on the go, pay for it, get an estimated cooking time, arrive 5-10 minutes later and pick it up.
Fucking amazing!

That's a 6 or 7 dollar burger? No thanks.
This is the future of fast food.
No need for pesky people to take your order, and soon enough robots could even bring you your own burger.
The future? We've had that shit for the past decade.

Yes I love this. They have touch screen ordering at Sheetz's around here and its awesome. No confusion over the order and you don't feel like a dick for making customizations.

Looking at the pictures, I don't think it uses McDonald's branding.
Edit: Well, not prominently at least.
The burger in the picture looks nothing like that, and probably tastes nothing like it too. It almost looks like something I'd make at home.

awwwwww ssheeeetz
I don't touch the doors with my hands to open them, ha.

Aaand the end result is still a McDonalds burger

...I want to know who the genius was who decided that was a good name for a fast food store.
It's a step in the right direction, but the bigger problem with mcdonalds food is not the topping choices, but in the preperation. doesn't matter if I order a $1 mcdouble or a $5 quarter pounder, depending on who's working the kitchen (usually someone who doesn't give a shit), i'm going to be something not-very-great.
How many times have I ordered bacon on something and got bacon "bits" instead of an actual strip or strips as shown in the pics above??? They have the crumbliest bacon I have ever had.
If they want a premium product, they have to fix things across the entire spectrum.

I don't know why, but I find the messaging here extremely obnoxious.

I told my old ass professor that service jobs were going to be next. He didn't believe me.

I've been eating way too much McDonalds the last couple months due to my current commute situation and its ridiculously frustrating how much of a risk it can be ordering anything unusual. Buffalo sauce is not Chipole Barbecue Sauce, and yet they've mixed up that specific substitution like three times. And an entire sandwich's worth of Buffalo sauce is far too much Buffalo sauce
