Maybe outsourcing is getting out of hand...?

[sigma7]

The McDonald's restaurant in Hermiston, Oregon appears to be "outsaucing" customers drive-thru meals.

The restaurant on Highway 395 has outsourced one of the most important jobs at the drive-through window -- order taking.

When a customer drives through, they'll be patched through to Grand Forks, North Dakota to place the order. Why? Because the minimum wage in North Dakota is $5.15, compared to Oregon's $7.25.

Apparently in Topeka now if you call for Pizza Hut delivery your call is routed somewhere else -- in Iowa, maybe? -- to take the order.

I don't know if that's true everywhere for Pizza Hut, but still. Maaadness.
