I've been to a couple of McD's where they outright refuse to acknowledge you if you just standing in front of the register. They really want you to use the kiosks, and I'm not even sure that they have people other than a supervisor trained to use the registers.
The elderly lady was probably doing what mom does when presented with a kiosk, pretending to be too dumb to click on a picture of the food they want.

My local McD's won't even take orders at the register. They'll come over and show you how to use the kiosk if you're having trouble.
For our rural area with relatively low population, it makes sense. But even in the suburbs nearby, Chipotle, etc., are going to online-ordering only.
The other day I was at McD's and an elderly lady was stressin' it because she had no idea what to do. There were two cash registers but nobody staffing them and a disorganized group of people waiting for their food and not even a clear queue for the people behind the counter to see that somebody was waiting. She asked me what to do and I told her she could order at the register but a minute later I realized I was standing in front of the register waiting for my food and that probably the workers wouldn't see her. I stepped out of the way and made sure she was highly visible at the register and when I got my food I told the worker that this woman was waiting for her food and she seemed quite annoyed but I didn't feel I could take it for granted they were paying attention.
