Starbucks now shows the workers faces when you order. What is the point of this?

>>21544543 (OP)
to prove they aren't filthy pajeets.
everyone has learned from tim hortons that the chance of having a fucking street shitter touch your food is too much of a biohazard risk.

>>21544543 (OP)
It's to put boomers minds at ease that they are talking to a True and Honest Real Person because they are terrified of technology you filthy schizo.

>>21544551
The ones where I live switched to an automated electronic voice menu so people don't hear the accents kek

I'm a burger. Pajeets aren't a problem where I am but we have the cameras still. I hate it

Write my name on the cup. It's Batman.

>enjoy your updoot!

>>21544568
I used to work there, I get it lol

that guy is from a call center and her drink is made by a robot
yes this is the definition of humiliation and some other company started doing it but i forget

So you can see them condescendingly judge your order.

In case it's not a white person, then you just keep driving.

>>21544543 (OP)
so you can see them roll their eyes and sigh when you order something retarded

>>21544557
you're a boomer zoomer

>>21544543 (OP)
Soon they will be AI and your order will appear in a neat little box so you don't have to touch the 'worker' which will really be a robot. History majors BTFO!

>>21544543 (OP)
It's probably an attempt to humanize and cut down on the amount of entitled shit people who treat the employees like trash. Even though Starbucks employees are trash.

it would be fun to fuck with them
>hello Steven, your head is looking particularly shiney today.

>>21544543 (OP)
because millennials are addicted to giving money to vtubers and onlyfans whores and they're trying to cater to the market

>>21544897
you couldn't do this already?

>>21544916
Millennial are now in their late 30s to mid 40s fatso.

For deaf customers to use sign

>>21544916
it actually is probably something related to this. theyre trying to market parasocial relationships with the workers to the younger generation who has grown up with twitch and live streaming

Training paypigs to become accustomed to paying a screen so they can offshore all their labor to india.

>yfw Edward, the white chad from your store taking your order, is actually Sanjay in Bombay with an AI face and voice filter

I want them to have cute anime cat or animal girl avatars like v-tubers

>>21545442
WHO THE FUCK CARES? JUST GET COMPLACENT AND BUY FOR CAFFINATED MILKSHAKE SOOMER!

>>21544565
As an employee I always deny names like this and if someone else does it then I just call out the drink name instead. The amount of retards who forget they picked this name and then come up to me asking where their fucking drink is, is just annoying.

>>21544543 (OP)
Do they record it? It looks like they are generating training data for Ai.

>>21544543 (OP)
>spends money on video instead of improving the audio
Why?
I hate that 99% of drive thrus sound like I'm using a cordless phone from the 90's.

>>21546907
But it's literally your fault

>>21544543 (OP)
The one I go to doesn't have TV screens outside. And we like it that way.

>>21544568
Doot?

>>21545117
I think you're overthinking it. I don't think there's some hidden secret motivation here.

Reporting you to your boss wagie

>>21546907
How do you feel about names like Ballseph Jones or Rock Johnson?

>>21547858
How is it my fault? If I call the name they picked they do not respond. I stopped doing it because they respond to the drink name not the retard name they picked. They forget they named themselves this 30 seconds later like a goldfish.

>>21547923
Do it. My boss straight up tells people they won't even accept the name and to give them their real name.

>>21548083
I feel nothing towards them. Last names aren't included unless you go into the app and add them yourself. I still won't call out retarded shit.

I’m so glad I don’t pay $6 for caffeine. Even just the camera pointed at you was unsettling enough.

I fucking hate cameras and facecams so goddamned much.

>>21544559
I had to call a helpline the other day and I had a feeling it was an Indian using a voice filter, it must be catching on

>>21548971
You need to take a selfie to order a drink

>>21544543 (OP)
women are very people-oriented. They like to see and communicate with faces, rather than an abstract device like an intercom. Considering Starbucks' primary clientele, this is a very shrewd business move.
