      In Japan, you order from a vending machine, pay the machine, get a slip of paper, and hand it to the cook.

      I think that system is fantastic.

          For different reasons though. In japan it’s for small restaurants which don’t employ many people or don’t have a lot of space or both. For McDonald’s it’s for pinching a dollar more for their empire.

            So about saving money, which is the same reason

            For McDonald’s it’s for pinching a dollar more for their empire.

            McDonald’s is franchised

          Ya I hate that. I have walked out of a McDonalds and went to the drive thru just so a person would take my order.

        I also love the amount vending machines Japan has. I’d love to have machine for tea or late night ramen around every corner.

          Not what you want to hear, but it sounds like you just want a kettle

            Haha. If those two were the only things offered in vending machines in japan, then yes. But they don’t.

      For giving you change: https://www.yourposstuff.com/T-Flex-Coin-Dispenser-p/tflexsc.htm

      For counting your change, probably something like this https://www.innovorder.com/en/automated-cash-recycling-system

        Those are awesome for the 7.2 minutes in a row they work without some intervention.

      In the Netherlands you have self checkout with cash. No cashier involved.
