DELETE CASCADE posted:pretend you have never been to a restaurant. which of these processes seems better to you? i know this is a few pages back but every restaurant i've been to with a qr code menu didn't have you place orders with your phone, they still send a waiter/server to the table to write down your order lol. one thing i do like are the places that have a tablet at the table that you can use to place orders. i've only seen it at all you can eat sushi places

i've been to a ramen place and a Korean BBQ place this week both of which had order/payment through a QR code using a platform called gosnappy it integrated with apple wallet and i basically just had to enter my mobile number for confirmation (and tracking, naturally). there's basically zero friction, and as long as that's the case, i guess i'm fine with it go find a seat, scan the code, pick the things you want off the menu site, confirm the order and pay. food shows up, you eat, then leave. if i had to sign up for an account or install an app, i wouldn't, i would either order the old fashioned way or just leave, but this seems fine as-is infernal machines fucked around with this message at 02:03 on May 26, 2023 |

tech isn't so bad if it works well, but most of the time it doesn't, and I'm kinda done with being subjected to all the times it doesn't, especially when the goal of the tech is to devalue/eliminate labor.

oh yes, i agree absolutely. in this specific case my only interaction with the system was neutral to positive (i.e. it worked as expected), and had it been anything else i'd be railing against it here too i've been going to the ramen place for years and they just got this thing and when i tried to order the old way they made it very clear that i should use my phone now.

Shame Boy posted:you can just say "large" when you go to a starbucks, you don't have to play their stupid game ignoring that starbucks is probably not the place where you go have small talk human interaction with the server since they are a high throughput fast food place where baristas are probably minmaxed and monitored just like workers in amazon warehouses.. theres a lot of configuration options for a coffee these days, like whether you want an espresso or a latte or a regular, then size, milk type (if any), hot/cold, sugar, take out or not. in france you also get these breakfast options where you get a croissant with the coffee etc i dont have a lot of illusions about service work today in respect to human interaction - i feel like throughput and profit is the most important aspect for most places which means that if i spend my time making small talk i am actually hurting the person working there

i mean basically small talk and human interaction has a time and a place and unfortunately its not in a busy lunch place where people just want their grub i also feel like americans may have a distorted view of this since due to tipping culture all the servers have to smile and be pleasant all the time. maybe if it was not for tipping, it would be clearer how much your average restaurant worker wants that human interaction

4lokos basilisk posted:i do prefer some automatic ordering system because when i exit my hovel office and walk to a place to get lunch, i am mostly focused on the food part, and i would appreciate if it i did not need to so much concentrate on pronouncing the food words correctly in a language that is not my native one, let alone make small talk i hate ordering things in korean when the korean word is an english loanword because if you pronounce it in english people often don't understand. but me trying to pronouce an english word with korean syllables sounds exactly like an english speaker pretending to speak korean by saying english words in a terrible fake accent. but it works. thank goodness it's mostly self-order kiosks.
