I ordered a cheeseburger from a McDonald’s machine earlier and counted that I had to make 13 clicks for one product. Can a retail UX programmer help me understand why?

If you genuinely have no shame about eating at McDonald's - you need to take a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror and seriously need to evaluate your life.

KFC - the quality has plummeted since Covid and it's exorbitantly priced for what it is. The restaurants are invariably filthy (don't get me started on the toilets). I also hate how so many of their sites are halal, even in non-Muslim areas.

My advise would be to start small, and gradually increase. So even if saving just £10 a week for a year, then wokr up to £15-20 a week by the time you're 20-21 will make a huge difference. I'd also recommend starting a pension as soon as possible.
