I go eat at McDonald's a lot and almost every time I can hear the staff call out an order number which is ready, but nobody comes to pick it up.

Why would you pay for food only to run off then?

I'm in Germany, in case that's relevant.

The last time I went to McDonald's all the kiosks printed blank receipts. No one knew what number they were.

    Here we often don't get receipts at all. The kiosk also shows the number on the screen, but for some reason they designed the UX so that when it can't print a receipt the number is only shown for a fraction of a second before it's hidden by a message saying "unfortunately we can't print a receipt right now".

    As a developer myself it makes me feel like I want to stab whoever thought this was good enough.
