They're designed for people of average (male) height, like everything else from default seatbelt position to doorways. Sounds like yet another tall person complaint to add to the pile.

In any case, I find them comfortable (probably because I'm average height lmao) and I like to take my time ordering to combine the best deals possible without having a cashier staring waiting on me so they can go take care of all the other things that McDs overworks their employees with.

IME (I've worked FF before) you "Fuck these machines" people generally trend towards annoying karen-type and take FOREVER ordering.

Doorways? Lol. Think about the alternative, if they were designed for the average height for females. Most men would need to duck or crawl under doorways.

Ok yea doorways was probably a bad example since those actually get an additional allowance for furniture and crap

And to clarify, I don't actually agree with the method of using the male average for everything (Ever wonder why they set the Office thermostat to 72? That's right male average of comfort lol), but it's what the world around us is built around.

You just sound like you're on a witch-hunt and hate men lol.
