    @cstross Ah. Reverse Centaur - the AI fails to do the job, so they delegate it to a human being supervised by the AI.

      @cstross I vote for improving their food. It's been years since I stopped at a Burger King, I have serious doubts that a friendly server will fix the real problems.

        @idahobucks I dislike the high street fast food chains on principle and rarely eat burgers: when I do, it's in a proper restaurant, or at least a pub with a decent beer and comfortable seating.

          Turning and turning in the widening gyre
          The employer cannot hear the employee;
          Things fall apart;
          The call centre cannot hold...

                      @gareth @dvsoest Look, it's NOT MY FAULT that Jim Henson horked up the word "muppet" and immediately misunderstood it as a portmanteau of "marionette" and "puppet" rather than the MUCH MORE OBVIOUS "meat puppet"!
