*Really* idiotic

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. It's not only less efficient, it's more expensive!

Most people in Hawaii speak some form of Pidgin, in addition to English. (Technically, it's Creole, since Pidgin is the first language for many locals, but that's another story.) The people working in McDonald's all speak Pidgin. And yet, they decide to take the time and expense to train the employees in El Paso to understand Pidgin, instead of having a local employee take the order.

So why are they doing such a stupid thing? Simple: minimum wage is Hawaii is $7.25; in El Paso, it's $5.88.

Relay ordering at Mickey D's....

Wow, I'm with Kitty--do we not want to train the person at the drive through to say: "Please drive up to window one to pay, and please follow up to window 2 to pick up your order"--I mean, is that so difficult? How outrageous!

That makes absolutely no sense at all. None. I can't believe for an instant that relaying orders to Texas and back is more efficient than properly training the person at window #1 to take the order to be picked up at window #2.
