Have it your way?

The company compiled information from franchisees and guests on how to measure friendliness, resulting in the fast food chain training its AI system to recognize certain words and phrases, such as “welcome to Burger King,” “please,” and “thank you.” Managers can then ask the AI assistant how their location is performing on friendliness.

    Anytime they do targets like this you always have to get like 98% or higher.

    Back when I used to work for Apple customer support they used to send out these email questionnaires after the call. You were rated on a scale of 1 to 10 but basically anything other than 8 was bad, and of course everyone always writes 7 or 8 because you’d prefer not to have to call a service desk at all.

    Fortunately they only cared about your average score not the total number of response. So if you got someone nice and they gave you a 9 or 10 you could basically just not send any more emails out for the rest of the month, and get your bonus. It was a stupid system.
