The company compiled information from franchisees and guests on how to measure friendliness, resulting in the fast food chain training its AI system to recognize certain words and phrases, such as “welcome to Burger King,” “please,” and “thank you.” Managers can then ask the AI assistant how their location is performing on friendliness.
That’s stupid. They use use AI to say please and thank you for their employees.
“Welcome to Burger King where you r-PLEASE… Would you like to try our THANK YOU”
Went to Burger King, they spit on my onion rings
See, if they had AI back in Eminem’s day, this never would’ve happened.
Burger King’s quality has fallen off a cliff. I care way more about that then if the cashier says please and thank you enough times. As long as they aren’t a straight up dick, I don’t care.
even in finland burgerking employees had strange wibe to them, i dont like that place.

Not that I would ever go in a BK, but if I hear that shit, I am going to assume it’s sarcasm and that’s going to ruin my day.
I am in there for a burger. The employees are there for their paycheck. As long as I can order one, I don’t care if they did little more than grunt as a reply.
Also that sounds a bit humiliating and demeaning. I really don’t care for this…
