What a boring dystopia we live in.
Malicious compliance time! At least have some fun with it.
"Fuck you, please."
"Thank you for eating my ass"
Reminder to Burger King employees: AI is notoriously bad at detecting sarcasm.
In high school, we had a script to answer the phone: "It's another great day at Boston Market, how can I help you?"
This was my first experience with malicious compliance. We weren't told the intonation we should use, so "great day" dripping with sarcasm at the end of a double-shift technically passed.
A little MC is in order:
Please may please I please take please your please order?
Thank you your Thank you total Thank you will Thank you is Thank you $69.69 Thank you please Thank you pull Thank you to Thank you the Thank you second Thank you window.

How many trillions invested and this is the best they can come up with?
Lol and do what with the info? Fast food service has insane turnover already due to employees making shit wages and being treated horribly by managers and customers alike. So you've already preselected for employees that dont give a FUCK about anything.
The secret is going beyond making logical sense to regular people. How does an executive can make it look like their job matters? By offering solutions to problems that don't exist. They can just pay someone to manipulate numbers and have accomplishments on their résumé.
Ah so they found a way to treat their employees even worse! Great
All the rude Burger King workers are about to be saying the most aggressive pleases and thank yous. Also welcome to Costco, I love you
You know, even if there's backlash, all that will happen is they'll backtrack temporarily until the heat dies down. Then they'll go ahead and implement this anyway.
I'm craving a hamburger now dammit.
For some reason I can't get past captcha and original source has a paywall. I wonder if this is US only thing?
I wonder if this is a human only thing.... 😒
