The next wave of Outsourcing

Well, will the stupidity ever cease? Nope, specially in Herminston, OR. A McDonalds along Highway 395 is outsourcing their drive thru order taking to some place in North Dakota because the minimun wage is lower. Well gee...why did they stop there? Why not go directly to India? All you'll have to deal with is seconds of delay and some person who you won't be able to understand 80% of the time. You know, one day, there won't be anybody left in the US to buy anything. The Government will have to implement one hell of Tourist Industry package to keep this coutnry a float. lol

A friend of mine from work said she had an experience with McDonald's on Road 68 in Pasco, where the order taker was in CHICAGO! The people inside just fill the order from a computer screen. That's getting pretty cheap!

Nice. I guess I won't be going there for lunch. Though not sure why i'd go there for lunch...oh yeah, I'm a cheap whore.

A report in the Herald says it is being tested in a few markets and has nothing to do with the fact that wages are less in the midwest.

Errr...right. If it had nothing to do with wages in the midwest, then they can do their testing just across state lines like come over here to Washington or Idaho. I think the Herald didn't dig deep enough into their deep pockets.
