minus-squareByteOnBikes@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down1·6 months agoIn Japan, you order from a vending machine, pay the machine, get a slip of paper, and hand it to the cook. I think that system is fantastic.
minus-squareThe_Jit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 months agoWe have this in the US to. Even McDonalds does them!
minus-squareMeanEYE@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·6 months agoFor different reasons though. In japan it’s for small restaurants which don’t employ many people or don’t have a lot of space or both. For McDonald’s it’s for pinching a dollar more for their empire.
minus-squareLordCrom@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·6 months agoYa I hate that. I have walked out of a McDonalds and went to the drive thru just so a person would take my order.
minus-squareMeanEYE@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoI also love the amount vending machines Japan has. I’d love to have machine for tea or late night ramen around every corner.
