  Thanks for the check-mark, but feel free to remove it and come back in 24 hours to see if anybody else has given you a better answer. Giving the check mark too early may discourage others from answering, and I'm sure there are other reasonable answers to this question.

  Cheap has connotations of shoddiness - is that a meaning that you're trying to capture, or to avoid?

We have the "Mc-" prefix, indicating something done the way the McDonalds fast food company would do it.

It generally implies something that is done quickly and cheaply, but also repetitively.

For example, we call large houses built in subdivisions with very similar appearance as "McMansions".

You could use this prefix productively to talk about "McService".
