I can take automated ordering systems in a fast food restaurant.
But I absofreakinglutely HATE the automated checkout lines* at the supermarket. I refuse to use them if I have more than a handful of items. I much rather have a cute girl check me out. She is faster and more efficient than I can be at the automated stand and I get someone else to do the bagging for me.
*To be honest, they are not really even automated. They are ME-ated. They are forcing me to do the labor for free and not even giving me a discount!

He told me that he has cut his labor costs by 31% by giving raises to his best workers, and letting a bunch of others go, and hiring these four guys....

He said they never call in sick, or show up late for work, or wanna go home early, they don't take smoke breaks, they're not constantly on their phones, they are all 4 bilingual, they are never rude to customers, they get every order exactly as the customer orders, and he only had to give them a sign-on bonus and a monthly maintenance fee which is WAY below the cost of employees.
He also has a whole automated french fry baptizing system, so no "fry guys", and he said his kitchen runs a whole lot smoother.
