Restaurant order screens aren't great for a multitude of reasons. Best advice I can give as a tech guy is to use the pad of your finger instead of the very tip, press instead of jab, and leave a slightly longer pause between the buttons.

[@SeagoGuitarist]

Surprised but pleased by how many people are anti self service. I work in retail currently, been there about 6 months. I'd say about 65-70% of our customers go for self service (give or take certain days, Saturdays are always so busy you don't keep track). But the ones that don't feel strongly about it and I always appreciate that conversation. I'm often left standing alone behind a counter watching people go to self service on quieter days. We aren't paid much but it's a challenging job. So it's rewarding to see people still prefer the interaction with humans. I'd always argue a computer is less likely to find or even offer solutions to specific problems. You're more likely to find a resolution with people intending to help people. Machines don't have that as a function. Ps, long ramble aside. Enjoy the channel, keep finding your videos somehow and I appreciate your fair/reasoned approach to food. It's refreshing when a lot of channels call everything great, or there's financial incentive to review positively. You can be fair, point out the flaws and rate on quality and still be respectful. I enjoy that about your reviews. 😊😊👌✌️

[@deadzio]

Imagine you in the queue and there is 20 ppl waiting...you gonna wait or use self service?? 🤔🤔

[@SeagoGuitarist]

@@deadzio @deadzio I get where you're coming from, but to be honest, these days I'd wait. I work in a clothing store too so, if there's an issue with your purchase, more likely a cashier is going to catch it/more likely you'll get it discounted by a manager. + our self service is card only + when there's 20+ people in the queue, there's 20+ people in self service. + no returns or exchanges at self service. Self service almost always goes wrong for me also, so the time you're waiting for someone to come and fix it, or approve an item, you've lost the time you were trying to save. Even using this video as an example, it'd have been quicker for Gary to know what he wanted to order and tell that to a person. I dunno, I just think there are more benifits to the interaction with a cashier than there are to a self service machine. I get them, I'm sure people like using them, too, I'm just a 32 year old dinosaur. 😅🤣🤷‍♂️✌️

Tried popeyes 2 weeks ago for the first time. I went with my 16 year old daughter who was excited to try it. I have to say. It was one of the best cooked chicken sandwiches I’ve ever tried. Juicy. Succulent. Perfectly cooked. Gets a thumbs up from me.

I love these reviews. Gary is very polite and seems to be a good, ordinary person which makes the reviews something to connect with. My grandchildren dragged us to Popeyes in Reading. Ordering on the screens was not easy and they had fingerprints on them, yuk! As for the food, it was OK but not worth the money. We ordered fries, but they had seasoning on them! Another yuk! But the kids loved it. I wouldn't bother again, can cook much better and cheaper at home, but I appreciate that's not the point for their customers.

That's so true.... people do all sorts with their fingers, smoothing hair, scratching and poking around in ears and noses is common.

[@michellezimmermann9160]

Absolutely right about washing hands after using touch screen. Some years ago My husband and I spent the weekend Christmas shopping in Cardiff. At the end of the trip we went into a well known fast food chain. My husband ended up with a really nasty sickness bug. 🤮We couldn’t understand why as we had ate the same thing as each other all weekend and I was fine. The only difference was that he’d ordered off the touch screen then ate straight away without hand washing first. Never again!!! 😫

Hello Gary. I've had the same issue as well with those machines, the trick is to only tap with one finger.

Im sorry mate, but when you have to thump a screen for an order, you lost me there! Even my GP surgery has a machine like that, covered in every germ known to man - I give up.

[@Super_Cool_Guy]

*Yes but if you injure yourself at the GP surgery, at least treatment is available 😊😄👍*

[@Hellomynameis93]

@@tonywozere909wait you guys don’t like ordering that takes seconds now due to self service??

[@tonywozere909]

@@Hellomynameis93 no, ghastly thought. It's self-service because it saves employing a friendly individual to greet and serve you personally, makes for a dull and anodyne experience, sorry. Imagine going to a pub and getting a pint served from a hatch by robotic glove.

[@JohnSmith-sl1my]

All wrong. Wouldn't buy from somewhere with touch screen. Not for me . Walk away

[@pdjhh]

Yeah in a fast food place you have to put your fingers where everyone else has been then hold the food with those fingers then eat that food. If we learned nothing from c..d then that’s really bad.

[@throwawaysupreme9400]

Don't use two fingers on a touch screen uncle

[@GaryEats]

Ok sorry ☝️

[@willbruce2126]

@@GaryEats Agreed Gary, only use one finger when using a touch screen and you'll have no troubles

Gary! Amazing video as always!

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's like you're reading my mind with these reviews. You really do cover all the bases restaurant wise.

That’s very kind thank you we do try to mix things up 👍

Funny how passing money over never used to leave us reaching for hand sanitiser!?

Great observation !

Money is one of the dirtiest things the average person will handle.

[@alfieakaronaldog]

Money is dirtier!

[@JynxedKoma]

They should be paying you to use those god awful touch screens.

[@GaryEats]

It’s probably me doing it wrong

[@michaelhardy5186]

I hate those touch screen gimmicks and always have problems with getting them to work. Perhaps a slightly harder touch with a hammer would work better.

[@melanytodd2929]

Fab idea👍

[@GaryEats]

Lol completely agree Michael

[@williamstewart7410]

Well done again gary we are getting our first one built in aberdeen where i live so your vlog very helpful cant wait to try it i will give you my score when it opens but i agree chicken on the bone well overdone such a shame but i will get the tenders thanks to you again gary another great vlog thanks.

[@GaryEats]

I hope you enjoy William thank you

[@KatytheNightOwl]

Oh wow, those chicken tenders looked amazing, as did the biscuit and gravy! Sadly i'm in the sticks, on the west coast of Wales, and there's only 2 branches in Wales, at Cardiff, and Newport, so far too great a distance for me, being housebound as I am! That sandwich looked amazing, too! Lol

[@Foxxy.Mulder]

Admittedly wanted to watch you bang the screen a bit more

[@GaryEats]

🤣🤣

[@lesley5380]

[@stevec7272]

touch screens don't like it when you use 2 fingers....

[@mmmyeah7]

Same as my ex

[@GaryEats]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@fragaliciousbob]

Love the content but use 1 finger FFS it's user friendly but not idiot proof

[@GaryEats]

Clearly this idiot isn’t used to new fast food technology 🤣

[@rsouthworth]

Idiot design, testing, real world trials and a failure to respond to feedback.

[@DebbieBartlett-si1zz]

Never tried this place but might just have to now after another great review, well done Gary and camera man

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much Debbie have a great weekend

[@alecsimages1]

Biscuits and gravy, very popular in USA but never seen the biscuit before so thanks Gary. Nice video. Regards from Sheffield UK.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Alec and up to Sheffield in about 10 weeks time ☝️👍

Cheers Gary there's one coming to Swansea and I can't wait.

[@GaryEats]

I hope you enjoy I’m off to Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 next week 👍

[@rickm5271]

Great review, Gary. I think the problem with the touchscreen is that you were using 2 fingers to make your selections, and touchscreens typically have problems with that. Next time, try using just one digit. Just a thought. Keep them coming! ❤

[@GaryEats]

Thank you and thank you again Rick 👍☝️☝️

[@johnalley3404]

Never heard of POPEYES untill now. Food looked good, going to LA and Vegas soon will try one out there. Great vid Gary.😀😀

Thank you John and good luck when you visit Vegas 👍

[@jackrobinson501]

Great review as always Gary food looks tasty gotta love fried chicken keep up the videos mate

[@GaryEats]

Very kind Jack thank you

[@johnkitchen4699]

As usual a first class video of the highest quality. Popeyes is indeed very tasty and great if you have low blood pressure (the portion of tenders you had is about 150% of recommended daily salt intake - the chicken is soaked in brine to make it tender). I know fast food is not the healthiest option, but Popeyes is very unhealthy - but that salt and fat does make it tasty.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you John and a good point about health issues 👍

[@davidjohnston101]

Great review as always Gary! Would be great if you could review Lahpet and Emilia’s handcrafted pasta. Both brilliant!

[@davidjohnston101]

I take it the machine was a little camera shy 😂

[@GaryEats]

Where is it located David please 🙏

[@davidjohnston101]

@@GaryEats Hi Gary - Lahpet has two locations, one in shoreditch and one in the west end (Covent garden). It’s Burmese cuisine, which you are yet to cover! Emilia’s crafted pasta has four locations (st katharine’s dock, Aldgate, Canary Wharf and Baker Street).

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much David much appreciated 👍

Hey Gary this is definitely a different review.... Loved it keep up the good work 😊

[@GaryEats]

Thanks! Will do!

Yet again you smashed it,not the screen 😜. You always come up trumps giving a good honest review. I definitely go there for a Popeyes chicken dinner . Thank you 🙏🏼⭐️😜👍❤️

I nearly lost it Karen but all good in the end have a great weekend x

[@MrVxrman]

The brioche can do one as far as im concerned Gary. The rest of it looked good though. I went to the one in Cardiff and thought it was nice food. Thanks for sharing ☕👍

[@GaryEats]

More than welcome and yes, I'm not big of bricohe but it worked here

[@CrazySparkie63]

I agree with you Gary on the hygiene aspect of touch screens, I always use my knuckle instead of my fingertip and it works!

[@GaryEats]

That’s a great idea thank you

I have Brendan it’s in the description 👌

[@SmokeyExhaust]

I think all Popeyes have the same issue with dry chicken pieces, same experience outside London. I wonder if its not a hot seller they sit there under hot lamps for hours drying out. Other stuff is generally nice and tender, I think thats something to do with how they marinade them? The cajun fries with their classic mayo dip is a good match for me.

[@juliepickles3394]

We tried Popeyes and we liked the burger 🍔 😋 and hubby liked the biscuit, mash and gravy lovely video Gary keep them coming thank-you for sharing hope you have a lovely weekend take care 🙋‍♀️👋👍👍👍
