AutoArby's

Mike (not a Bob) explains the AutoArby's in/near Irvine, California:
You walk in.
You talk to nobody.
You touch some pictures on a screen.
The person on the other side of the counter touches pictures on their screen (the workers get a black & white screen - customers get color - and I think the workers get the order in their native language).
The screen displays how much cash you need to give.
You give the cash, then get any change.
You get the food.
You walk out.

Automatic.
Dern, I wish we had one of them here in BigHairVille. I'm tiring of ordering a Large Co-Cola (and an order of fries for Beta the wonder dog) and getting a Diet Sprite and a Moon Pie instead.
