The plea is "don't chitchat with the Maccos worker in the drive through. Just make your order as quickly as possible."

Sorry for bringing the mood down, but this story isn't exactly my idea of 'light-hearted':

The woman claimed McDonald's kitchen workers are under extreme pressure to process drive-thru orders. "We get yelled at and pushed so hard until we beat those times, we sadly can't have a conversation with any customers," she stated.

No, you're completely right, and I almost didn't write that bit of my message because of it. But I thought that it's still a unique enough type of content to be worth calling out how it's different from the usual politics. It was the more surface level of the article that interested me here anyway, because personally even if they're not getting abused by their employer I'd still think the advice to not chit-chat in the drive-through is good advice.
