But, not a fan of touch screen order kiosks. Not sanitary, and I work on tech all day the last thing I want to do is use a computer at a restaurant. But, im sure there are a bunch of people who hate interacting and probably love it. When I go to mcdonalds, I will wait extra for a person to come up to the register.
It’s nice to order at a counter if you know exactly what you want. But I like the kiosks if it’s a place/menu I’m not very familiar with: gives you more time to browse and decide what you want rather than gawking at an overhead menu, holding up the line, and feeling pressured into ordering the first thing that comes to mind…

Now days you can be waiting quite a while for a human to take your order at McDonald’s!
if you don't care paying for the premium then it's obviously a privilege for you.
not fun for the people on the other end of the spectrum, though.
next stop, pricing depending on how hungry you are!
I did not say that. I said I have no problem with dynamic pricing.
plane flights are cheaper at bad times. If everyone wants to eat at noon it potentially induces a big load on Wendys, e.g. more people staffing the counter. If you can financially motivate people to spread the load or rather "flatten the curve" it may increase efficiency.
But, not here for a flame war. For the record, yes I am stable financially, and that probably adds bias to my thoughts.
