I prefer just saying “can I get a medium #2 combo, please.” And being done with it.

That may be fine for regular customers, but what about the rest of us who don’t have the menu memorized?

The menu is 6 foot across, above the counter where you order, glowing, with pictures of each item and number next to it. Even someone who couldn’t read could order food using the normal system.

I’ve literally ordered by signing a number with my fingers to indicate the item I wanted in a country where I don’t speak the language at a fast food franchise I’d never been to before.

Then there’s more ‘uhm’ and ‘aah’ involved.
