McDonald’s From Playtime & Conversations to Cold Kiosks & Isolation
McDonald’s From Playtime & Conversations to Cold Kiosks & Isolation
Food for Thought: Where Did Banter + Empathy (Bempathy®) Go?
Remember when grabbing a burger at McDonald’s meant striking up a chat with a cashier or sharing a laugh in line? Those days are fading. The once lively, engaging environment has been replaced with screens and self-service kiosks. It’s not just about fast food anymore—it’s about what we’re losing in the process:
❌ No small talk. ❌ No eye contact. ❌ No real human interaction. ❌ No chance encounters or shared moments.
Instead, we stare at screens. Tap options. Pay. Wait in silence. And leave.
If we stop practicing banter/chit chat, we LOSE it. And with it? The ability to connect, build trust, and create win-win moments in life.
Science Says: Chit Chat/Banter Builds Instant Bonds!
Did you know that lighthearted conversation can actually improve your mental health, social skills, and relationships? Studies show that chit-chat isn’t just small talk—it’s a tool for building trust and belonging. When we engage with others, we:
✅ Boost oxytocin (the bonding hormone) ✅ Reduce stress & anxiety ✅ Create a sense of belonging ✅ Develop deeper friendships & relationships
So why are we letting AI take over? Why are we settling for transactional experiences instead of genuine human moments?
