This just happens to be the exact same crystal that you can find in electric heaters, hair dryers, electric stoves, curling irons, electric hot water heaters, irons, and toasters. Just flip it upside down and start removing the screws. The crystal is silver and will have 6. The crystal will have some form of 6. In my toaster, it showed 6.
While the official frequency needed is 6. It only takes a few seconds to get the crystal out of the toaster. Now that the crystal is out of your toaster, throw your toaster away! Do not attempt to use it once the crystal is removed. Just throw it away. As I mentioned before, just about any brand and model of CB radio will work, as long as it has the digital display on it. These are the kinds of CB radios whose frequencies are controlled by a single crystal inside of them.
Taking apart your CB radio is just as easy as taking apart the toaster. Remove the screws and pop it open. You may or may not have to lift up the circuit board inside to find the crystal inside.
I just pulled it out with my fingers and then plugged in the new 6. But who cares, CB channels are lame anyway. She said, "If you've ever been asked to 'pull ahead' while in the drive-thru, you know that it can be slightly frustrating, especially if you then see a bunch of other cars getting their food behind you.
But here's the thing — they're still working on your food, too. It just so happens that your food is taking longer to prepare. This means if you bought a whole meal, and the champ behind you ordered something small, you could be asked to drive forward. But don't lose your cool, your food is still coming. Everyone should remember this the next time they roll into a drive-thru. Being timed is stressful and unpleasant for anyone.
Therefore, it wouldn't be much fun to be a drive-thru employee who's clocked during every shift they pull. And that's exactly what happens at most of these chains. One of the systems that fast-food restaurants use to monitor their workers is called ZOOM.
This app records how long each vehicle takes to look at the menu, talk with a cashier, and pick up their food. According to ZOOM's ad, this tech helps eateries "provide smoother, faster service and a better customer experience. While a timer helps some drive-thrus deliver a great experience, it negatively impacts others. One Burger King employee on Reddit reported that they have to serve a customer in two-and-a-half minutes or less. Another poster from Starbucks said they're only given one minute per customer.
This is impossible if a patron takes three minutes to order, then spends two minutes altering their meal at the window, and then waits another three minutes as the restaurant accommodates these changes. They just assume you're slow and they lecture you. This means that if you're ever getting food from a drive-thru, you should try to figure out what you're buying before the employee asks you.
And try to avoid changing your order once it's been placed. Trust us, drive-thru workers everywhere will appreciate it. The fact that drive-thrus are there to make restaurants money is the opposite of a secret. But just because you know this certitude doesn't mean you notice every trick that they're pulling. For example, drive-thru posters showing new items are backlit to inspire impulse purchases. These advertisements are actually designed to cause a customer to buy a new product or some dessert without really thinking through this decision.
It's kind of remarkable yet scary that an illuminated placard can provoke us to change our spending habits. Drive-thus are also planning on using new tech to encourage even more impulse purchases.
One of the items that this business developed can present individualized advertisements to each person that pulls up to their intercom. What this ad will display changes depending on the time, what the weather's like, and if the line's congested or not.
A couple of directors believe that this technology is going to make McDonald's customers impulsively spend their cash. Ricardo Belmar, a senior director at Infovista , said, "This is a great use of AI to improve the drive-through experience and generate more impulse buys at the point of sale.
Smart move by McDonald's. So, if you're ever at a drive-thru and craving an apple pie, ask yourself if you really need one. Because you may become a sucker that makes an impulse purchase.
Speaking of artificial intelligence, this tech is already taking over our drive-thrus. This tool is able to take orders, chat with customers, and never get frustrated at a bad patron.
While this AI sounds like a utopian dream, this technology certainly has its skeptics. In the same Washington Post article, it was mentioned that these AI tools may be harming more workers than they help. Erikka Knuti, communications director for the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, told The Washington Post , "Too many businesses treat customer service as a line-item cost instead of an investment.
In addition to eliminating jobs, she said, removing people from transactions degrades the product that businesses are selling. However, whether you're for or against AI-controlled drive-thrus, keep your ears peeled the next you're at that intercom.

First, it's plain theft. Second, the drive thru takes your picture when you order, the same pic is relayed to the person handing you your food. Third, you'll be the only person in a week that has 'mistakenly' driven through, so you'll be super memorable. Free food never tasted so good.
Especially the burgers. PS: This video is spoken in French, but has English subtitles. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video. Subscribe Now.
