    In Japan, you order from a vending machine, pay the machine, get a slip of paper, and hand it to the cook.

    I think that system is fantastic.

        For different reasons though. In japan it’s for small restaurants which don’t employ many people or don’t have a lot of space or both. For McDonald’s it’s for pinching a dollar more for their empire.

          So about saving money, which is the same reason

          For McDonald’s it’s for pinching a dollar more for their empire.

          McDonald’s is franchised

        Ya I hate that. I have walked out of a McDonalds and went to the drive thru just so a person would take my order.

      I also love the amount vending machines Japan has. I’d love to have machine for tea or late night ramen around every corner.

          Haha. If those two were the only things offered in vending machines in japan, then yes. But they don’t.
