That was my first thought too, and that applies to nearly every fast dining or fast food restaurant, not just in San Francisco or the USA, but also elsewhere in the world. Many fast dining restaurants exist where you order your own food at

Is this HackerNews or the fringe comment sections of the loony tunes web? What on earth is happening to the comment quality around here?
