The kinds of places that get touchscreen kiosks often have teenagers taking your order who are not paid or trained enough to give any shits about any of it. The touchscreen saves both of you from doing the worst part of the whole process.
Adding onions to a mcchicken is impossible through a touchscreen. Can easily be done if I talked to a person
I mean if I really need onions on a mcchicken I can still order at the front but then I have to deal with trying to get my specialty order across, which is even more hassle. Mainly I want no salt on my fries and no sauce on my burger.
Trust me, you don't need that shit. Melted cheese is good sauce and the residual salt in the fries tray is plenty, and you'll get fresh fries every time.
