AITA for wanting McDonald's drive-thru AI to stop asking if I want a McFlurry with my McMourning coffee?
TL;DR: McDonald's new AI drive-thru upgrade, meant to upsell and "optimize" orders, is apparently just a glorified chatbot that can't handle human nuance. I ordered a black coffee and a hash brown at 6 AM, looking like I just crawled out of a dumpster, and it aggressively asked if I wanted to add a McFlurry, an apple pie, and a Happy Meal toy "for the kids." When I said "no" three times, it suggested a diet Coke. Then the audio glitched and it started recommending a McRib. Now the internet is roasting the company for putting out a digital employee that has worse social skills than your average toddler. Honestly, at this point, I'd rather just have the 17-year-old screaming at me from the speaker. What's next, the AI starts diagnosing my existential dread while I wait for a Filet-O-Fish?
