Yeah, because the main thing keeping me from eating at Burger King is whether or not the employees greet me and use “please” and “thank you.” That’s the hard line they keep failing, absolutely.
I get the strong impression the company already sunk costs into AI (as so many others did) and this was just an idea brought up to justify it retroactively.
I’m 99% sure that this won’t be used for that, but to bust unions and union attempts.
Finally, a use for AI worthy of the massive investment we’ve all had to make…
Corporations suck. They give people shitty jobs at shitty pay with shitty schedules with the knowledge that the people taking those jobs have few choices so they can be controlled, and the corporations control them as hard as they can. From how they dress to how they speak to not letting people sit for the duration of their shift.
They should force their employees to say sorry instead over how bland their food tastes
As someone with experience in hospitality: you know what? Use it. But not on the staff, but on the customer. +15% price and fat tips automatically if they don’t say either. God, I hate rude people.
Please go fuck yourself. Thank you.
That should meet the requirements.
AI is the new “blockchain”
Literally there’s no need for AI to do that sort of surveillance
In that both are meaningless and are being used as tools to sucker the rubes (yet again).
No Kings!
No Clowns!
Hand me a salad!
Lettuce dismantle this fascist regime!
They haven’t had my business in years. Too bad I can’t extra avoid them.
Same. The number of boycotts I can’t join because I was already avoiding the company is really saddening lately
Do you know of a reputable list of decent companies I can look for in the US as a leftist? I am kind of feeling like a doomer these days.
I’ve ranted about it before but I feel like every organization is awful or is on the precipice of either becoming awful or being acquired/obliterated by an awful competitor.
Most times I’ve recently needed something I’ve felt like literally every option of company was terrible and I don’t have the energy for it anymore.
I sometimes check this app. I am not sure if it’s still valid and up to date but it helps sometimes for the bigger names.

Why is this an app? All it needs to be is a text file.
You have become the very thing you swore to destroy!
It’s
turtlesgrifts all the way down.
probably because no one is going to update a text file reliably.
bro has never heard of html
The other week I replied to some commenter that thought that JavaScript was the only way we sites worked. No clue about hyperlinks or forms or anything.
Oh good lord I wish. If you find one I’d love a link too
Now it’s your time to say ‘If everyone were like me…’
I go there only because they are the cheapest of the three places I can go to get lunch from work. I would never advocate for them though. The entire experience is ass from the service to the food.
Besides that if you need ai to monitor your people to make sure they’re being polite you’ve already lost. Maybe work on making working there not an absolutely miserable experience.
Have you considered that might be part of why they’re the cheapest?
It’s only cheapest because I order a la carte. Their combos are as much as anyone else’s.
Great call management, that’ll make your food taste better.
Seriously, that’s the easiest fast food chain boycott.
I literally have not stepped inside of a BK in over 10 years. Not for ethical or boycott reasons. I just got tired of having stomach pain every time I ate there. They have the worst food of any restaurant fast or not. Their fries left a weird waxy dry taste in my mouth and their “burgers” felt like a stack of wet paper towels.
How people can still eat there is mind boggling.
I liked their fried fries tbh, not that they were that great but I enjoyed them. Otherwise, it felt like the cheapest fast food out there.
Same, I’ve been once maybe 10 years ago, and it confirmed that going to A&W is always the right call :)
Putting aside the shitty micromanagement, why does this require AI? There are plenty of simple transcription softwares, especially if you’re just monitoring for keywords, that would be infinitely cheaper.
Yeah but it would take some amount of skill to set that up. With AI you can ask it how many times an employee said “please” and “thank you” and it will give an answer.
Of course the answer may be just made up, but you don’t care, you provide the numbers to your boss and get bonus points for being hip to the new AI tech. Your boss doesn’t care because the numbers all go into a database which another AI will “analyze” and the company can say they are a data driven AI native company and billionaires buy more shares. They don’t really care either because at some point when they all see each other at whatever is the present day version of Epstein Island and they’ll all decide to all short AI all at once. They make money on everything with AI hype when the stock go up and they’ll make more when the whole thing crashes.
You just gotta understand how the tech business works!
“Welcome to Costco, I love you”
That’s it! I’m going to Carl’s Jr instead.
Fuck you, I’m eating!
Can we stop at Starbucks on the way?
I don’t think we have time for a hand job, Joel

I don’t want to be recorded when I order food. Your employee may have signed an agreement. I didn’t.
- by buying and consuming our food you agree to everything in perpetuity.
agreements like that should be illegal
They are! But we live in interesting times.
