So McDonalds uses Cherry MX keys...

[Dubesta11]

I happened to notice a familiar cross pattern on a broken switch...

 

 

Turns out it's a Cherry MX (Black?). I press that switch daily and always thought it felt like a mechanical switch, without an actuation point (smooth). Interesting! Would love to get some keycaps and troll the people there

[Clyne]

How did you get the picture in the first place?

[Juganog]

Guess it makes sense considering how long they last

"that I press daily." He works there.

[Flight1sim]

most stores use mechanical switches too

[miyabwah]

businesses want their keyboards to last for a while, so they use cherry MX switches

/r/mildlyinteresting

[flibberdipper]

Most places probably use them since they last forever.

[iruixos]

Interesting. Not something I've ever given thought to, but it's neat.

I now have a list of one entry long for why I actually like Mcdonalds. 

[Imabigmac]

Now of course I'm more interested in,

 

A. What the heck that keypad thing is used for because those words don't look like they belong together 

 

and B. How many people are gonna screw things up because there is no key now.

Step 1. Find interesting object.

Step 2. Take out phone.

Step 3. Take picture.

Step 4. Share online.

Step 5. ?????

Step 6. Profit?

They don't use that button very much, and there's another one hooked up. It is to serve orders or modify stuff for the display system.

Ha, work was slow today and no one was doing anything. We have a fairly laid-back store and can do quite a bit of stuff (Costumes, outside food, party, drinks, fun)

i work at mcdonalds, so after a order is completed, thats the keypad to serve off the order from your section. ill take a whole picture of it tommorow if you want when i work. we are also missing keycaps, so i need to check mine.

Is that the first payment window? We call it the "Deep End" since its one person at the end of the building.

[Fgtfv567]

Well that was unexpected.... Why did that keycap come off?

[Kobrastachka]

lol, ya they last a really long time

[iAsuno]

Cool i guess..

[gilm0re3]

2. Free WiFi

Eeh. Its slow. Most places have free wifi now so it's more of a convenience than a "selling point" to me.

[Syntaxvgm]

Most point of sale machines use blacks. 

[Tygron]

Oh cool. I've been wondering about that, but I didn't wanna take a key off incase it was some convoluted proprietary thing that would break if I did. I was wondering if it was some type of mechanical switch or topre or whatever in there cause it doesn't feel like a rubber dome.

 

We actually have a broken one on our line 1's bump board over by the initiator side. The top right button to serve off the order works if you know how to push it just right, but otherwise doesn't work. I assume it either got slammed really hard or it got hit somehow that broke it.

 

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. Maybe i'll take a key off tonight and have a look myself, now that I know it's just a Cherry (or similar off brand) switch back there.

Hey it lets me stream music from Q-Dance radio and the like while i'm at work. Only thing that keeps me sane is a hard pounding bass. Though lately i've been listening to Pandora with an Abney Park seed. Hehe

Blacks were pretty much designed for POS machines, and are very common in them. The are good for people to type on in the standing position, and wear like iron. 

[legend8887]

That's cool I've never thought about that before.

They also use crazy awesome professional monitors with ultra-thin bezels.

I went to a mcdonalds a couple weeks ago. They had a 5 screen setup with bezels this thin:
