That right here is an anxiety trigger and would make me skip the place.
There is nothing more ruining the day like arguing with a robot who keeps misinterpreting what you said.

That’s a much more serious anxiety trigger for me.
I kept expecting a twist though - the technology evoked in Parts 6 & 7 is exactly what I would imagine the end point of Manna to become. Using the "racks" would be so much cheaper than feeding people and having all those robots around.
With a human, I have to anticipate what order their POS system allows them to key things in, how many things I can buffer up with them in advance before they overflow and say "sorry, what size of coke was that, again", whether they prefer me to use the name of the item or the number of the item (based on what's easier to scan on the POS system). Because they're fatigued and have very little interest or attention to provide, having done this repetitive task far too many times, and too many times in a row.
