Where I live you can use it but someone has to come over and check your ID, so I only use it when I'm buying alcohol just so that they spent that money on the machine for nothing.

Back when Jack in the Box had the self serve kiosk, that poo poo took 4 times as long to use it to go through the menus. They tempted you with free tacos, though!

Emphasis on had, the one the JitB by my college campus was gone under a month so clearly not even millenials or younger want to bother with that poo poo.

peeps who actually want to 100% have no human contact order with their phones, because they also tend to have a lotta brand loyalty, so they get apps and poo poo peeps who want human contact go and talk to peeps

bob dobbs is dead posted:the apps also suck The problem is complex, but a bit issue is always that corporate won't let you have a single, simple button on the main screen for the most common items as they're most commonly ordered, because you can't upsell that way

If I couldn't just order a #1 with a push of a button and then pay for it on the next screen then the kiosk is already less useful than a cashier.

It's not like you're going to be waiting any less with a digital order because you have to wait for them to cook the food anyway.

I make up for the lower frequency of ID checking by buying booze a LOT more often than I did when I was younger.

Zeroisanumber posted:poo poo, just look at theaters. Place I go to has six automated kiosks that let you buy your ticket and pay with a credit card in about a minute, but people will completely ignore them and wait in line for the box office 90% of the time. the structure of American capitalism is uniquely based on ~the service economy~ by choice, and the service economy is a polite name for "pay someone minimum wage so they're too busy to revolt, and have them stand there while suburban moms scream at them to self-psychotherapy". for this we need few, disused kiosks, and the ones which do exist to be advertising-driven Engagement Boost Guaranteed hellscapes that will inevitably require the intervention of someone who can be screamed at for the user-unfriendly design not only approved but specifically requested by upper management the rest of the world gets pushbuttons and a cash acceptor like an '90s coke machine
