re: Why do people take so long to order fast food?

Nobody just orders a #4

People have to customize the holy hell out of it

When I was in HS, I went to McDonald's with my friend and her mom. I had never been exposed to custom ordering before in my life. My family always ordered everything as it comes.

Her mom orders first and it's all "no this, extra that, this on the side" and then my friend steps up and does the same thing. I'm kinda weirded out, but it's my turn and I'm like "#1". And they stare at me like I'm supposed to say more. I can't think of anything I'd even want to leave off or need extra of.

I’ve literally driven up behind a car whose order was still on the screen at Taco Bell, they ordered a burrito supreme and literally had about 15 modifications, double this, remove this, add this… it was some crazy bullshite

I read an article a while back about how app ordering is making people customize orders to crazy degrees because it's all laid out in front of them. They said is majorly slowing down the food timing because it isn't as "assembly line" as FF once was. Fast food is now slow food.
