It's depressing to me that the reason we don't have decent automation systems in place is that humans are still much cheaper than kiosks. It's an insult to our species IMO that humans are still used for tasks that could be done by relatively simple machines.
I heard a story once about how construction sites in India don't often use tools like bulldozers, because it's so much cheaper to just hire 400 dudes with shovels. I'm sure we'll all look back at retail and the food industry in 20 years and view it as barbaric that humans were used to do such menial labor.
