Are all the screens in McDonalds these days a blessing or a curse?
A trip to McDonalds these days is a far cry from the dining experience it used to be, with tablets at tables to keep the kids entertained, and self service station screens to order food from.
The latest McDonalds to be given such a 21st century makeover is the branch at Tollgate in Stanway, Colchester, which was closed for eight weeks while the £2m refurbishment took place.
several tablets, touch-screen self-order kiosks, and a new McDelivery service.
But not all of Colchester's residents are enamoured with these changes.
However, others said they are pleased with the technological changes.
"There is also no upsell of 'fries with that?' or 'go large?' so people won't buy extras," she said.
Sandy Goldsworthy also agrees that the screens aren't difficult to use. "Table service makes it easier with children, you can entertain them a lot easier than waiting in a queue, and my toddler loves the tablets when there is one available.
Jackie Steptoe thinks that having tablets for kids encourages them to play when they should be eating.
