Frankly, I like this idea. If the choices and options allow for custom alterations as to condiments, I’d say this is a winner.

These machines are a pain to use. I tried one at Wawa. Put together my whole order but inexplicably it was cancelled while I was asking a question to an employee. So my choice was either to redo the whole order or walk. I walked.

I agree. It is much less likely that you will screw up your own order than someone else tapping it in.

I don't see why they wouldn't. I imagine these are roughly the same screens the employees would use to order the food for you. All the machines have done is eliminate the order- and money-taker -- basically, the counter help.

Way to go, minimum wage-ists! Your new slogan: "From undperpaid to unemployed."

I believe it does. At the drive thru if I order light sauce and add mustard it comes up on the screen, so it must already be programed into the POS system. Now it’s just you punching it in directly.

Convenience. . .but imagine all the snot-smeared fingers, cough-trap, filthy unwashed bathroom hands touching that screen before you.

What could go wrong.

These are nothing more that a similar device that the clerks at a McDonalds
or other fast food places have been using for a long time. The difference is
the customer punches in the order rather than the clerk behind the counter.

I love it too. The only thing that would make it better is full automation. That way nobody to blame but ourselves for screw ups.
