I work at a paint store and you wouldn't believe the amount of people that either show up at the wrong store looking for an order or call in an order to the wrong store. Now imagine if we had ten times as many locations, more variables in the product to fuck up, and ten times as many customers all with even lower IQs and shorter tempers than the ones we normally get. It would be a disaster and wouldn't last more than a few months. We'd have people screaming at us because their order wasn't ready and we'd be mistinting dozens of gallons each day.
Though if you had to pay ahead of time that would definitely provide some motivation to make it to the right location. Still wouldn't be worth the potential increase in sales. McD's is already fast. I had no idea there was a McDonald's ordering app and I can't imagine why anyone would use it in the first place.

I can't imagine living the kind of life where having to wait a normal amount of time for my Big Mac was something I was looking to bypass
>and i take the highway before hand so trying to navigate my phone would be a bitch, plus theres now the distracted driving law bullshit
Are you arguing for or against long distance ordering? I can't tell. You shouldn't be doing anything on your phone while you're driving on the highway.

There is no point. The whole thing is fucking stupid. Order it like a normal person or don't order it at all.
