Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ (www.theverge.com)

The company compiled information from franchisees and guests on how to measure friendliness, resulting in the fast food chain training its AI system to recognize certain words and phrases, such as “welcome to Burger King,” “please,” and “thank you.” Managers can then ask the AI assistant how their location is performing on friendliness.

The only think I know Chick-Fil-A for is funding conversion therapy camps and fascist politicians. That's enough for me to never step foot in one

People who know this but still go there are hogs.

That place is like a cult. I mean, people are obsessed. It's just a chicken patty with pickles; how good can it be? Maybe they sprinkle crack on it; I don't know. I'm never going to find out because I'm a vegan.

It's good for fast food, but that bar is very, very low. My spouse used to love it, but we stopped going there years ago. And you're right, it has a cult following like Starbucks and other places have had from time to time.
