Phone dry Macca’s

IN a bid to get customers to put their phone away and start talking to each other, a Macca’s in Singapore has introduced an in-store smartphone locker.

Customers can lock their phone away in the glass cabinet and enjoy their Happy Meal with some eye contact and conversation.

At least that’s the idea. The installation is pitched as a way to let customers have some genuine family time while in the restaurant.

It certainly seems like a nice idea but the locker — which has room to house 100 phones — may have been a tad optimistic.

A photo posted to Instagram this week showed the locker completely empty, with a mocking caption to go alongside it.
