These would be good in bars and clubs for serving beer. The long beer queues are the worst.

Full disclosure: I'm a Finn.

Problem with that is all about ordering. Verbally ordering is very efficient and the bartender can track you down if you move or try not to pay, and can remember your face and tab. Not easy or reliable for a robot, and a human will be able to take advantage of it. Humans can also take advantage of automated checkout machines in stores, but the trust isn't there in a bar yet.

There are alternatives like ordering on a tablet, but would get convoluted and awkward fast.

For beer specifically, I don't think a tablet menu is a problem, and you can easily have people swipe their card immediately.

The problem I see with this is more the alcohol related ones like inability to ID or to cut off someone who's had too much.
