Through the miracle of technology, people on the go can now use their cell phones to cut to the front of those long lunch lines. A new website, www.gomobo.com, allows hungry patrons to bypass the cranky and head straight for the satisfaction. Simply text message your order to participating fast food restaurants and, upon arrival, your calorie fest or caffeine fix will be ready and waiting. Customers must first sign up online, providing their credit card number as well as their favorite menu choices. After that, simply text the franchise with a code and wait for them to text you back with the time your order will be ready. Skeptical of bureaucracy’s timeliness? Hopefully, waiting for a return text won’t take longer than waiting in line with all the cell phone savvy-less folks. Once the transaction is complete, just show up, walk to the Mobo counter, grab your grub, and walk out with your best better-than-thou expression. As of now, 24 restaurants in the New York City and New Haven, Connecticut area are signed on, including several Dunkin’ Donuts, Ben and Jerry’s and Subway locations. So next time you feel like beating that loud talker on the subway with her own cell phone, remember the ease of life technology brings along with the alienation.
