[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting article in the paper today about movement to bring more tech to fast food and similar work places to compensate for worker shortages.  Turns out people aren’t irreplaceable, at least in the long run.[/quote]

The US population is too stupid to plug in a fast food order at an automated kiosk. They won't be able to call it fast food if they replace all the workers. Ever notice the self checkout line at the grocery store actually moves slower? [/quote]

NP and I can't speak for everyone but I use the app at Chik Fil A.  I order and click that I am at the restaurant before I leave the house and my order is waiting for me when I get there, so much faster than sitting in the drive through with everyone else.

Self-checkout if you have a few items is definitely faster than waiting in the one or two lines that are open at the store.  Even each individual lane moves slower (of course it does, you're crammed into this tiny area and you don't have the benefit of a customer bagging/loading stuff in your cart) there are six to either kiosks to use so the line as a whole moves faster.

On the bolded, people are always replaceable its just a question as to when the cost of labor exceeds the cost of automation and as wages rise and AI gets better we will (hopefully) see more automation and error reduction in fast food.[/quote]
