A video of that conversation would certainly go viral.

When this is fully implemented we can moved to amnesty a few millions more lower wage workers, that’s won’t be needed.

Taco Bell app looks interesting. I’ll try it. Menu board at the TB is so stripped down now (minimal info) that it’s hard to know what is actually available. App has all the details.

I know what you mean.

I had a PAINFUL experience at a Wendy’s just last week.

The girl behind the counter was, frankly, “fence post stupid” and simply could not translate my verbal order into buttons to push.

I would have been much better off pushing the buttons myself.

They just installed robotic concierges at the Indianapolis Airport.

This trend will expand rapidly.

I end all my orders with “And that’s all”, and they still ask.

Please give me an app to make them shut up!

The app will probably be loaded with popups to try to get you to up-scale your purchase (triggered by key clicks).
