Automats failed because they had fixed coin payments while fast food joints had more flexibility.

however with credit cards that is no longer an issue.

It does make some sense - the cooks can make a limited menu and fill the boxes based on demand

I remember using those as a kid

I just can’t remember exactly where it was - maybe inside a department store?
