Self-order kiosks use touchscreens to replace cashiers. Fast food chains implementing automated self-service machines include McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell and KFC.

Pretty cool ordering machine. But, it seems the machine is always trying to sell extra food combos to the buyer.

Sounds convenient but I can't help but wonder about the people whose jobs would be replaced by this.

I mean right now, it is the cashiers, how do we know that it wont be those who prep the food that'll be replaced the next time around?

machines are taking over BA, you need to accept that.

But where as the job loss is a bad negative, I think this is good since employees can be treated like shit by the customers.
