Like industrial accidents from bad management and OSHA/child-labor violations.
Yes, which certainly we'd expect a kindergartener to encounter. /s
If you have a situation in your country where you're regularly expecting kindergartners to perform first aid, you've failed them before you've even kicked off the lesson.
Problem is, gun are useful.
Problem is, people are stupid.
Which is evidenced by both your shitty grammar, and tired argument.
I'm squidward in this one (EDIT: and occasionally sponge bob).
Spoon was right: they want your soul.
This is the efficient resource allocation, organization of labor, and innovation for which capitalism was created and a real-life example of why government should never interfere in its miraculous operation.
I'm just a person who likes to sit at a table and order like a person that paid to eat at a full service restaurant.
Neither you nor I should expect there to be "troubleshooting" in a full service restaurant. We're not setting up a new iPad; we're paying to be served.
Self-checkout is rife with not only anti-social vibes, but also involves possible legal trouble...and all so that the store didn't have to hire a few extra checkout personnel.
Both of these "innovations" are largely for the benefit of the owners and largely at the cost of the people patronizing these establishments.
I don't have a choice of stores, but I'm spoiled for choice in restaurants living in the city. I'll vote with my feet.
I don’t want to have to use my phone’s browser and internet connection to read little words on a phone screen and scroll around and zoom in etc.
The last place I went with a QR menu linked to a fucking PDF. It was absolutely abysmal trying to look through a phone PDF reader at a menu. Unsurprisingly, the restaurant had some of the worst service I have ever encountered in decades of eating at restaurants.
QR code menus and ordering systems are terrible IMO.
The tech often sucks, but more than that they make the entire restaurant experience worse.
I tried to keep an open mind when encountering them at first, but they often nullify any and all interactions you have with the waiters, and turn the restaurant from full service into something like a fast casual restaurant...yet they still prompt you for tips at the end of the meal and add additional percentage overcharge fees for "inflation" or whatever.
I don't want a waiter to be over at my table every twenty seconds, but waiters shouldn't be made pointless by a maître d', a runner, and a busboy.
They're anti-social shit dreamt up by the same kind of minds that gave us the horror that is self-checkout.
Not every restaurant of course, but there’s a reason that restaurants regularly fail, especially in cities, and I don’t think it’s because the owners are spending it all on yachts.
I think a lot of them are in debt up to their eyeballs and that's why they fail. They also usually make up for the lower margins on food with better margins on drinks, but there's a margin on every item regardless.
Rent is also a factor. Commercial real estate is not cheap.
And some just plain suck. The food sucks, the prices suck, the service sucks, or the location sucks.
There are myriad reasons why restaurants fail, and I doubt it's all because of low margins.
I think if they don't have a printed menu at the next new place I go to I'm going to just get up and leave.
Probably has fair few bots, foreign actors looking to stir up shit, and a half dozen corporate shills looking to alter public opinion as well.
Edit: Nevermind. You're right, downvoting guys. You're all definitely humans arguing in good faith on this platform where all i needed to join was to pick a username and password. 😆
