Have you tried paying attention to what customers want and will accept rather than dictating to them?

Companies are entering a new age of FAFO

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Yeah these companies have gotten so out of control. They act like they are gods gift to earth and we should be grateful for anything they allow us to have. The same goes for employment too. They treat people like shit because they think someone else will come around and be grateful for the opportunity.

I'm not accepting that anymore

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Oh, so what I'm hearing you say is that no one wants to work anymore!

Japanese employers are currently under a major "crisis", that crisis being that Gen Z employees won't work 20-40 extra hours in a week unpaid, won't participate in corporate family culture "bonding with your boss" bullshit, wont take 「no, I refuse your notice of quitting」 as an answer, actually report workplace (sexual) harassment, among other things. Except unlike in America, the employers in Japan are actually having to adapt to employees respecting themselves because their population is on the brink of collapse from not having enough young people lol, they don't just have other people they can hire. Obviously because of the unbearable work "culture" which doesn't allow you to have a family life, combined with the rampant sexism against women throughout Japanese society and culture keeping them from interacting with men.

japan is also kinda fucking itself over twice:

  • they don't have enough young workers and treat them like shit, which is directly causing the pushback you describe
  • they are so xenophobic that they can't just hire foreign labor either

so, yeah, double fucked!

Fuck you MC Donalds for forcing me to use your god damn stupid ass terminals for ordering something. There are just a few things I hate with such a passion than this god forsaken pieces of shit. Let me order my food at the counter. Its a much better experience and its hell a lot faster. They are one of the many reasons I don't go there.

[-] Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

If only the terminals were the real issue. It's mostly the shit tier food at absurdly high prices...

[-] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

The few times I used ordering kiosks at McD’s or Burger King, I actually preferred them over ordering at the counter. At least with the kiosk, I can take my time, look at options and order without feeling pressured by the line behind me. I’ve got a visual disability , and it’s much easier for me to use than to read a menu that’s posted behind the counter.

And you know at least the order went through correctly, as opposed to dealing with some stoned teen who barely speaks the language and is liable to mess it up.

The kiosks definitely aren’t why I don’t go to MC’s. It’s the insane prices.

Im With you this but I just don’t like to talk to people who don’t want to talk to me. Worked as a gas station clerk once and I was always thankful for people using self checkout.

[-] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, definitely can relate :D I was downright ecstatic when my supermarket got self-checkout. I absolutely hate waiting in lines, small talk, etc. With self-checkout I’m done in 30 seconds.

[-] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yup that’s me as well :D I just never used them in the beginning because they were failing a lot of the times which meant you had to call over a clerk, who’s usually already in demand and it just took even longer … but it’s gotten better.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Honestly I would prefer the terminals to ordering from a person. If they fucking worked that is, big shame they almost never do.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

You are so right about those terminals. I hate them with a passion too.
