    “Sometimes it lets me down, but sometimes it really surprises me," he said.

    That’s what I want from a drive through. To be surprised or let down.

      Luckily with widespread use of AI we can implement that everywhere!

      I mean to be fair… that’s the current drive through experience anyway isn’t it?

        I can count on a human understanding that I didn’t in fact order 18,000 waters. After this AI f up, it takes a human to fix it. It will be this way until AGI happens if it happens at all.

        Depends on the restaurant.

        There’s one McDonald’s nearby that’s wrong like 80% of the time, but A&W is right almost always for me.

          Wait people eat at A&W? Is it any good?

          There are multiple around me and I feel like I never see anyone in them and I myself have never been in 40+ years.

          I have been to most every other fast food place more times than I can remember.

            A&W Canada is (they spun off as a fully Canadian owned and operated company).

            They have the best lettuce and cheese, and their breakfast beats McD’s. The Hash browns are actually hash browns instead of the thin $2.50 ones the clown sells.

            Baby burgers are love. Baby burgers are life.

            Midnight ordering 30 baby burgers is one of my favorite things.

          For me that’s like the inverse. Plenty of fast food around me but the nearby McDonald’s is pretty crazy efficient (and generally busy), always gets my order right without issue. Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy’s in the area are all terrible with order issues, badly prepared food, etc. I’ve never checked but I wonder which of the stores are franchises and which are corporate owned and if that makes a difference

      That would be funny coming from a customer, but from their CTO it does not inspire confidence.
