Life is seemingly moving at an increasing pace these days. Fast cars, fast track travel, fast women and fast food. We are getting lazier, tired quicker and often eating healthily is the last thing on our minds when we return home after a long hard day slaving away for a pitence.

Now even fast food is being outsourced to remote call centres because the staff taking your order just aren’t fast enough!! crazy.

WILMINGTON, Del. — These days, when you order grub-to-go at several Wendy’s (WEN) restaurants — from Lebanon, N.H., to Gainesville, Fla. — the route to the pick-up window runs through Delaware.
In an accommodation to evaporating profit margins and demanding consumers, some fast-food stores are outsourcing drive-through order-taking to distant call centers — like the one staffed by young workers in a non-descript industrial building south of Wilmington.
Pull up to a drive-through speaker in Middletown, R.I., for example, and you could be talking — via Internet phone lines — to Alpha Telemarketing employee Annette Miser at her desktop PC 306 highway miles away in Delaware. At a typical mealtime, 12 or so “agents” like Miser are handling the traffic for nine restaurants in five states, from New England to the South, and flashing orders to on-site crews.

All this fast food crap is no good for you! Avoid processed foods, beer and pork scratchings!
