I just ignore it and wait for the employee to say something. That way I’m not just barking an order at them before they’re ready to accept it, like Taco Bell corporate wants. That’s the real reason for that stupid pre-recorded prompt, to trick people into thinking that it’s a real person, so that they respond with “No thank you. Can I get uhh…”, instead of simply waiting for the employee to be ready.
That’s some selfish sub-human shit, and I refuse to participate. I’m not a psychopath: I can wait an extra minute or two while the employee takes care of other business.
I do the same thing at mcdonalds. “Will you be using myrewards today?”. It doesn’t matter what you say it won’t help you get your order done any faster
Now can they turn off that “Are you here for your app order pickup?” pre-roll followed by an actual person yelling “WHAT DO YOU WANT?!”
