Maybe now I'll be able to get a burger with something on the bottom layer. I mean seriously, what the hell is up with Mcdonalds and plenty other fast food places making hamburgers with the bottom layer completely dry.
Awesome. If one of these hits a Mcdonalds near me I'm gonna make essentially a McDLT(it still lives on in my heart....) crossed with a Big Mac, but with bacon, jalapenos, mushrooms, swiss and ranch sauce.
Hesburger is better
Finally, less fucking sauce
fucking yes I wonder if there's anything stopping you from making some scooby-doo style behemoth
Finally the answer to the 15 dollar an hour debate is getting closer
Bring this to canada please!
my carl's jr already had something like this but i think they removed it because everyone who used it were too slow and it was just a hassle.

[QUOTE=Cornish;46675365]Next thing you know youll be able to grill your own burger, flip your patties and deal with assholes! And get paid minimum wage! The future is now![/QUOTE] Exactly why I dislike the idea of places like Fudruckers, with their "Build-your-own-burger-bar" If I'm going out to eat why would I want to pay someone so I can get up and make my own burger? I like eating out because of the conversation and relaxation of it.
the McDonald's near me was the 2nd place to try this out and trust me guys, it is amazing
Meat, more meat No rabbit food.

May we all hope that it has the ability to scan our tongues to see what we want like the one from that Jimmy Neutron episode.
[QUOTE=Ajacks;46676377]Is it like a walmart auto checkout station?[/QUOTE] It's actually pretty stupid and inefficient. You use the touchpad to select what you want on your burger, then an employee copies what you put on that iPad onto their own iPad, which they then take to the register and enter it AGAIN to charge you. at least the food is good

If it were like an auto-checkout line that'd be great, quickly tap out what you want for your order, make changes, pay right there, get your number and wait.
I work at one of the 4 McDonalds in the world who have the Build-Your-Own-Burger, now renamed to Create-Your-Own-Tastes or something, the burgers are amazing to eat, but as a member of kitchen staff, it's more work and sometimes you get swamped when you have 2-4 people working in the back and suddenly 2 of them need to spend 10 minutes making a BYB, while the others struggle to get the rest of the orders off the screen. Just some personal experience.
[QUOTE=Medevila;46676494]Any way of proving this? Because that sounds stupid enough to be false[/QUOTE] [url]www.vice.com/read/we-went-to-the-mcdonalds-build-your-own-burger-test-restaurant[/url] This talks about it a little about a third of the way down (can't copy paste the quote from my phone) edit: this is from the very first day they had it so they may have improved it since then, but the three times I did order it that's how it went
[QUOTE=Empty_Shadow;46675226]You can do this already though. You have to pay a shitload more though because added ingredients costs more but removing them usually doesn't change the price. EDIT: why the dumbs?[/QUOTE] As a guy who had a summer job at Mcdonalds and hated it, You can already do this indeed. You tell them to add it to your order and pay a few cents more. This just makes it easier for the people making your stuff because cashiers tend to not hear you. You could also do stupid shit like replacing the meat in a Big Mac with Hot&Spicy Chicken like a BK Burger or ask them to make a Quesadilla by grilling a rap with chicken and cheese. Final word comes from Shifts however.
I wonder what the limits are of the machine. At first I thought it produces the sandwich out of the machine :v: Like insta cooked patty like either a cartoon show I watched or some short story that used human clones as their meat.
[QUOTE=Saxon;46675290]One day Mcdonalds will be just a big vending machine I bet[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind. Although I'm sure a lot of Philosophy, History and Art students would :v:
Hmmm, Southampton's a fairly major city in the South... Here's hoping they're going to be installing a few in the UK. More likely that they'll just stick one in London and plop the rest in random places around the US, though.
I can see this being a game with my buddies late at night on who can make the most obese abomination
[QUOTE=Pako;46675828][URL="http://www.somethingawful.com/comedy-goldmine/burgerking-noahs-ark/1/"]it didn't go over very well[/URL] [video=youtube;TAQqdf2hlek]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAQqdf2hlek[/video][/QUOTE] I wonder why they discontinued this :v: . Wonder if I can make myself a McNoah's Ark on this?
how will wahlburgers compete???

They're a WIP.
[QUOTE=ironman17;46675886]I wonder if you'd be able to make a McCoxNCrendor with it? Assuming you could get rid of most of that fuckin' barbecue sauce, that is.[/QUOTE] I doubt you can mix and match something limited like the Mcrib sandwich with this.
What if they implemented their own plastic cards you could swipe, and they store what things you order the most, and then you can choose from a menu when you swipe your card on the card reader it may or may not have?! :O AND ITS A GIFT CARD TOO HOLD THE PHONE MCDONALDS, ITS MY IDEA, YOU CANT TAKE IT IF YOU DO IM SUING YOU TO OBLIVION
Can I make a quadruple cheeseburger?
Went to the single one in Sydney (Castle Hill for anyone who isn't aware of it and lives nearby). These were amazing. I have no idea what that guy was on about with some guy taking the order from the iPad. At our one you select the burger ingredients, select if you want salad or chips then a drink (if you chose meal). Then you take a ticket and go and sit down. They bring it to you. Yes, they actually deliver it to your fucking table with a waiter, and it's on a plate and everything. The chips are in a little metal cup thing as well. It's expensive as hell (easily $15-$20) but damn it tastes nice and seems kinda awesome for a bloody maccas.
