When Machines Invade: Taco Bell Touch Screens

I went to one of those Taco Bell/KFC hybrids in Morrisville, NC and all the ordering was done through the gigantic touchscreens. No humans take orders there. You go to the machines and you’re presented by an animated Colonel and talking taco. Then you put in an order as if you were at amazon. You can pay with cash and credit card.

WAIT, I can’t wait for the machine to screw up your order! I just can’t see going to a TacoBell(/KFC) pressing buttons with a human watching, feed my credit card in it, and let a human serve the food to me. Is it me or are we just doomed to live in the Matrix!

    Thank you Jerry for your keen use of the word “nigga”. It delights me to see that ignorance follows me all the way to uneasysilence.com
