Fast Food Chains Go Digital: Kiosks Or No Kiosks?

Leave a comment

Ah, the digital order kiosk—a shining monument to progress in fast-food dining. Who wouldn’t want to stand awkwardly in front of a glowing screen, scrolling through endless submenus just to find “no pickles” for their burger? These technological marvels promise convenience, yet often deliver chaos. Instead of one cashier managing a line, we now have five kiosks fostering five individual bottlenecks, each held hostage by confused patrons deciphering touchscreens like ancient hieroglyphs.

And let’s not overlook the “hidden” benefit: fewer employees. Why pay humans when you can let machines take the heat for botched orders? It’s efficiency at its finest, until the system crashes and everyone’s forced back into one line for the lone, overworked cashier.

For tech-savvy diners, it’s a breeze. For non-techies, it’s a gauntlet of shame and frustration. Truly, these kiosks embody the future: faster, sleeker, and mildly infuriating. But hey, at least they don’t ask for tips.

The Vice President: Time In A Bottle, Errr, On A Smart Phone

(Melchor Vergara contributed to this report)

In an era where smartphones have become our digital shadows, it’s a wonder why public figures still attempt to twist reality.

Case in point: The Office of the Vice President claimed Sara Duterte was diligently “on the road” serving her country, only to be foiled by the very technology most of us use to track lunch orders. Ah, social media—the ever-vigilant watchdog! A picture of Duterte frolicking along the beach, complete with time-stamped evidence, quickly emerged. It’s almost poetic: while some politicians still play by analog rules, the internet ensures their excuses can’t outpace the truth.

The OVP staff surely had a moment of collective facepalm as they realized that in 2024, pretending to be somewhere you’re not is as futile as wearing sunglasses indoors to avoid recognition.

Technology doesn’t forget, and evidently, neither do the citizens armed with smartphones and a keen sense of timing.

Yes To Senator Bato’s Question On Drug Testing For Bald Persons

Leave a comment

Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa’s recent query about whether bald men like himself can undergo hair follicle drug tests had the Senate floor and the Internet world buzzing with laughter. 

Imagine the disbelief on Bato’s face when drug labs confirm that, yes, even those with shiny domes can be tested—just not from the head. Apparently, body hair, whether it’s from arms, legs, or other areas (ahem), is just as reliable for testing. 

You could almost see Bato picturing the lab techs awkwardly plucking chest hairs. Bald men everywhere now breathe a collective sigh of relief or disappointment as the case may be, knowing their lack of locks won’t exempt them from scrutiny. 

So, dear senators, don’t think you’re off the hook just because you’re follicly challenged! In the battle against drugs, even body hair has your back—or, in this case, your chest!
