in campaigns such as Fight for $15 have generally taken a dim view of Easterbrook's overhaul.

Westley Williams, a Floridian in his early 40s, says the initiatives and the chaos caused by mobile app orders,

现年40出头的佛罗里达人韦斯特利·威廉姆斯表示,移动应用订单、

new items, and self-order kiosks riddled him with so much anxiety that he defected to nearby burger chain Checkers.

新商品和自订信息亭产生的购买和混乱使他非常焦虑,以至于他选择去附近的汉堡连锁店Checkers。

"It's more stressful now," said Williams, who added that he didn't get a raise for doing more work.

“现在压力更大了,”威廉姆斯说,他还补充道,他没有因为做更多的工作而加薪。

"When we mess up a little bit because we're getting used to something new, we get yelled at."

“当我们因为习惯了新事物而陷入困境时,有人会对我们大喊大叫。”
