McDonald's has been using kiosks for at least ten years. I believe that everybody is as used to them as they're going to get.

Where I live in the EU as well, a dozen or more kiosks can handle more customers than 3 people.

I'm not used to the kiosks and I hate them to the point that I've stopped going inside anymore. If I just have to have a Big Mac, I'll go thru the drive-thru so I don't have to deal with the kiosks.
