I was in an airport terminal where all of the restaurants and cafes had tables with iPads. I went to one of the restaurants and ordered a burger using one of them. From what I remember I was the only patron there.

About 40 minutes later, I'm looking at the waiter walking around and it didn't seem like he was waiting on any food from the kitchen. He also didn't come over once, and probably assumed that I was just hanging out and watching the US Open on the TVs.

I flagged him over and it turned out that my order did not go through at all. I then spent another 15 minutes waiting on my food to actually arrive.

If I'd spoken to a human from the beginning, this probably wouldn't have happened.

The burger wasn't that good, anyway.
