There are human beings, not robots, behind the counter, dipshit.

As with so many parts of wingnut ideology, it requires one to turn off their brain and not think about… well, anything really.

Okay, so you order from the machine instead of relaying it to a person who puts it into a machine. Then you pick up your order from the pickup line. This is… pretty much exactly the way the drive-through works right now, except that you’re punching buttons instead of relaying your order to somebody else who punches the buttons. They still have to have cooks to make the food, they still have to have people to bag the food up into orders and deliver them to customers. At the absolute most, this would only replace the order-taking personnel.

And it won’t do that completely, ever, for the exact same reason that U-Scan has been present in every major grocery store for over a decade now and yet it still hasn’t replaced all of the checkout belts. Because machines break down, or customers fail to understand how to use them, or just plain prefer dealing with other humans rather than machines in the first place.
