long distance drive through

I wonder if this is why my order gets screwed up. At least she'd not in India.

At certain McDonald's, the person taking your order is in a call center in N. Dakota or California, using the magic of VoIP.

What's next? "I most humbly Welcome you to McDonalds vetty much. May I please to take your order"?

Well, Kurt, I didn't know that and I also didn't have a clue as to what VoIP was, either. So I googled it so as not to be even more of a computer ignoramus than I already am.

How VoIP / Internet Voice Works
VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the Internet. If you are calling a regular phone number, the signal is then converted back at the other end. VoIP can allow you to make a call directly from a computer, a special VoIP phone, or a traditional phone using an adapter. In addition, new wireless "hot spots" in public locations such as airports, parks, and cafes, allow you to connect to the Internet, and may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly. If you make a call using a phone with an adapter, you'll be able to dial just as you always have, and the service provider may also provide a dial tone. If your service assigns you a regular phone number, then a person can call you from his or her regular phone without using special equipment.

So let me get this straight. If the Internet is down, I don't get my fries?

;-) just sealed it for me.

May I please have a pound of Heart Attack with some major liquid tooth decay? Maybe tasty if you are not into real food, but it is a killer on the body.

Speaking of long distance drive-thrus....Tootsie your avatar is making me hungry

How about bringing me some fries and a burger?

Or if the wires get crossed, it could be....

"Velcum to McShusenburg' Gugum Fritz ubum HackOrderish Niche"

Or from Italy:

Bienvenuto a McDonald's pu? io prende il vostro ordine?

Or in Japanese:

マクドナルドへの歓迎は私取るあなたの順序をかもしれないか。

the only thing i have to say is that the person in new delhi india taking my drive thru order would have to be smarter than the yahoos that work the window here.

Will the people in India who take our orders for hamburgers be uspet we are eating the sacred cow???

i'm not sure it is real meat they use in their burgers, so that may be a moot point :funn:
