CUSTOMERS ASKED TO 'PLEASE SPEAK CLEARLY' TO ROBOT IN CHECKERS DRIVE THRU

In a viral video, TikTok user @therealdefmike shows one of these drive-thru robots in action. The drive-thru robot is accompanied by a sign telling customers to “please speak clearly.”

Companies like McDonald’s and Panera Bread are already utilizing AI-powered voice processors to power their drive-thrus at select locations. Now, Checkers has joined this group, sparking mixed reactions from customers.

In the comments section, some users supported the robot “This is actually kinda nice,” offered a commenter. “Most of the time the person who’s taking the order is doing some multitasking and this would make it a little easier.” However, others were less enthusiastic “Ridiculous. they need to make laws forcing employers to actually employ people AND pay them a liveable wage,” says another user.
