    I’m surprised they’re not hiring people in third world countries to take the orders since it’s through a microphone.

    Or just making people order through their phones and use the drive through as a pick up point.

      This is an American company, their customers would probably react poorly to hearing a foreign accent come through the speakers

        Everyone has already been conditioned to be okay with “John” from Hyderabad speaking to you in incomprehensible accent on every customer service line. So this wouldn’t be any different.
