Most people will say, oh but it's not that much money, well if you consider that there are probably 100 macdonalds locations in the province, 4 $30k/year jobs lost at each locations, that would take around $12M out of our provincial economy. Meanwhile your Big Mac hadn't dropped in price, so those cost savings are just going in rotten ronny's pocket.

Simply not true. Those Kiosk screens allow the extra staff members who would normally be taking orders to spend time in the kitchen prepping food or bringing it out to the customers table. All McD's is doing is trying to provide better service to it's customers.
