Also while you are squinting at the screen waiting for it to rotate back, the staff underneath think you are staring intensely at them.

what in all Ryan George's heaven is a pickle in a bun? Is a canadian thing? It comes with hot mustard and relish? Some mayo? A side of poutine? A squirrel dances while I eat it inside the restaurant? Can I trade a tortilla instead of a bun? I have questions. Can I pay with a coupon? wait…I think I have one here…maybe it was in my other sweatpants…Can you call the manager, please!

I usually get the kids meal, and they like to hide those things in a 1"x1" box in the corner of the screen.

Somehow not even Ryan George's witty funniness is outpacing my sympathetic rage this time. "It'll just ask you a little question"

Just download the app. I'm sure they won't spy on you or sell your data or anything.
@Miss_Myth

Marginally related, but I absolutely *hate* that nobody's website just lets me view the menu anymore. You have to Start An Order and go through section by section, instead of seeing everything in one place. The only exception is when you have an option to download a PDF of the menu… which may or may not have been updated in the last 5 years. 🙄

Cinemark at Coastal Grand does their showtime screens like that: Guys I want to see when the movie starts and pick a particular showing before you change the screen!

The coolest rotating menu I've ever seen was at Station Craft brewery. It wasn't a screen, but a series of motorized tiles that would scramble and spell out the specials, events, and new craft beers. Like the sort you'd see at an old-timey train station. They gave you a paper menu too. Very neat establishment

There's some irony in the fact that this 3.5 minute video about screens showing ads, instead of what you want to look at, contains over 1 minute of ads.

Fun Fact: Most Canadian fast food places still have a static menu and a paper menu as well if you need it.

Worst thing about this is they have several screens that could all display the menu while one runs the ads but they choose to have the same video on all of them
@RobMedellin
September 2, 2026 at 7:27 pm
There's a second screen that will have the page you were looking at but then that one also switches, so you have to hunt to see which screen has the info where you left off

This! Pet peeve. I just hold up the queue while waiting for the menu to rotate back for the sixth time so I can read the contents of their Family Meal Pack and compare it with their Mega Combo Meal on the 10th rotation

The "it's going to ask you a few questions" part is so dead on accurate, as if the cashier doesn't know the question is "how much can we guilt you?"

And of course these restaurants try to maximize margins by having no space for you to stand against the wall while reading the menu.

I go inside to a McDonald's and the cashier told me to use the kiosk, after that daunting task completed the kiosk told me to proceed to the cashier for payment to complete my order, then go to the cashier for her tell me why didn't you say you were paying cash. So yeah I'm not jumping through those hoops ever again

For the first time, I feel for every person involved in the sketch. First customer can't order, second customer now has to wait, employee has to try to move the queue along, all because someone in a boardroom with a marketing degree doesn't understand what menus are for.

12 rotating screens 50 number options to choose from, 3 food options arranged in 50 different ways.
