I found the kiosks much more approachable for customized orders. If I order a hamburger with fries I don't get asked if I wanted a menu and I can actually flick through some of the offers before deciding without having a impromptu mob forming behind me.

Unnormal orders are much easier and normal orders are quicker.

I can imagine the kiosks make it harde for McD's to upsell to e.g. a menu, now you mention it.

In my experience, it usually does suggest a Menu when possible but you can easily pick no menu and also suggest a sauce for frites or similar but you can always choose not to do that.
