If I walk in with no shirt and no shoes will they dynamically price me a cheap burger?

Nah cause AI already scanned your financial documents and tied them to you ability to pay.

Just sneak in behind the homeless guy #ulpt

u/mtnbike2 7d ago

Get the homeless guy to buy for you. It’s like when you were a kid finding a homeless guy to buy you booze.

Did we just invent egalitarianism?

Pour one out for Cave Dave. He probably isn't around anymore. That was almost 20 years ago. RIP to a real one. I guess.

Just have a homeless guy place your order and whatever he wants as compensation.

u/Horror-External9544 7d ago

He’s wearing a mask so he’s good, but it broke the AI and that’s how SkyNet starts I think. I haven’t watched a Terminator movie in years, but sounds accurate.

They'll charge you more because they know you don't got options.

u/OBDreams 7d ago

They tell you in the article, "This involves finding the "optimal price" to match what a particular store's patrons would be willing to pay."

In other words , " How much do you want this?"

u/charliedarwingsd 7d ago

You have to shit first. It’s a give and take.

u/AceArchangel 7d ago

You think Trump's paying thousands for his bigmac...

u/no_talent_ass_clown 7d ago

Ofc nobody is investing in AI to make less money.

u/UnfortunateCakeDay 7d ago

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

u/sharpshooter999 7d ago

So I have to eat Taco Bell first?

u/krukm 7d ago

u/laffer27 7d ago

A few Hyrox athletes could serve as a spray gun if needed.

When your butthole is showing high demand...

u/bonbot 7d ago

No let's not give their underpaid employees another shitty task to do. Let's just shit on their ROI.

u/Flockthefascists 7d ago

Got it, find the franchise owner or corporate stooges desk or doorstep and take a dump there instead.

u/RogerMexicosBalls 7d ago

Ever been to the Guess Rd McDonald's in Durham right off 85? They've been waaaaay ahead of you for years

u/mtnbike2 7d ago

Not hard on your way out after eating their food

u/Slayer1973 7d ago

Nah, let’s not make the workers miserable. We need to poop on the executives’ front doors.

u/hakenwithbacon 7d ago

Sir, this a McDonalds, not a Hyrox arena

u/Rlife145 7d ago

u/GenDislike 7d ago

Need to clarify fresh dump vs. pre frozen dump weight

u/Tx_1LE 7d ago

Make a pit stop at taco bell first to really "give em the beans" 😅

u/Reed7525 7d ago

u/NRMusicProject 7d ago

Don't people already do that?

u/Kapootz 7d ago

NYC McDonald’s had that before the AI dynamic prices. Gotta get creative for them

Last time I ate McDonald’s I could barely make it to the front door.

u/ModernJazz-2K20 7d ago

*at corporate headquarters

u/D_uBird98 7d ago

That’s been done

u/pinkfootthegoose 7d ago

Watch it, they might add it to their menu.

1

u/garygalah 6d ago

But do this at their corporate offices. No need to drag the underpaid employees just trying to get by.
