Maybe telephone sanitizers don’t have to be shipped off planet, and can be retrained for kiosks?

****************

Probably not any more filthy than the table you sit at to eat, etc.

In 2013, fast food chains Chili’s and Applebees installed hundreds of thousands of tableside
tablets that allows customers to order and pay their bill without ever talking to a waiter.
Those firms were soon followed by Buffalo Wild Wings, Panera Bread, Olive Garden and
dozens others. Darden Restaurants, which owns popular chains such as Olive Garden,
Red Lobster, LongHorn Steakhouse and Bahama Breeze Grille, recently said it would introduce
tablets at all its U.S. restaurants by the end of this year.

For decades in Japan, establishments have customers order at a vending machine or kiosk before
sitting down to eat. Today in North America, the digital equivalent is driving sales for some
firms. In July, Domino’s Pizza, which has more than five thousand stores across the United
States, credited a move towards digital ordering for a strong strong second quarter earnings,
noting that more than half of its orders now come through its web site, text messages, or even tweets.
