Are the steps different for regular Coke?
- amichail 4y agoThe point is that ordering a single item like this should be fast.
- jfengel 4y agoBut is that really the main use case? Do people often go to McDonald's to order just one item? If I wanted a Diet Coke, I'm more likely to go to a convenience store. The operation would be simpler: I pick up exactly the item I want from the shelf, pay for it, and leave. I don't need to wait on anybody to bring me anything. Especially for something as generic as a Diet Coke. If I am at McDonald's, I'm expecting to order McDonald's food. As a designer, I wouldn't optimize for the case of somebody ordering just one item that they could get elsewhere. That doesn't excuse arbitrary up-selling and obfuscated interfaces, but it doesn't surprise me that ordering a single item (especially a non-food item) isn't as fast as it could be.
