As a consumer I'd nearly always prefer a machine take care of my needs than a person or an animal. It's fun to talk with my friends, family or other diners at a restaurant, it's not usually fun to talk with the staff. At least in Chicago they usually seem miserable, incompetent, or a mix of both.
It might be fun to have niche locations with humans serving people and taking orders but I imagine it'd be more like horse drawn carriages serve tourists.
- tluyben2 10y agoMaybe you visit the wrong restaurants or other parts of the US are very different than Chicago? I have had mostly excellent staff experiences in the US to such a point that I use US examples to train our restaurant staff. Also, although I would like to see far more automation, I would suppose your opinion in this particular case is rather unique? Obviously I do not know that for sure but experience says it is in my friend group.
