And what's to stop me from swiping people's food by tapping twice when it's up? Finally lunch truly is free.

who is making the food in behind the front is nice clean what about the back are the robots washing their hands..are they being sterized cleaned. like who is in the back

[glrrr]

I am more interested in that digital glass panel, what is that technology called?

[peterro]

How many bad days have you encountered from interacting with a labor cost associated with our food? Unnecessary conversations, disrecpecting our time, and etc. If only they knew sometimes a few people just want to give money to their employer in exchange for food, please come to Los Angeles, this is a nice place to eat.

The low, bargain price killed this automat. It couldn't make a profit. It's likely profit point may have been at least $9.99, likely higher. But then attendance would drop off except for the curious.

Am I the only one watching this and having flashbacks of pixel chix...

[applenice]

I was able to visit EATSA when they opened in NYC. Idk why they closed...

[BillRiccio]

too much germ contact going on with all the touching and tapping! yuk!

[Anaiss]

What if your order is wrong who do you explain to

[SIOrlove]

One just opened up near my office in mid-town manhattan. It's really good. I want to know just how automated it is behind the wall of windows though. i don't like the idea of those jobs going to robots.

A vending machine. Royal farms already is dominating this automated self pay fast food quicky mart. Plus royal farms is at every location with cheap prices. Royal farms is out selling popeyes and kfc in the fried chicken.

[PeteyP]

All of this because CEO's & executives want to keep their 30mill per year compensation intact. The world is doomed.

[jordanf]

I already have little to no human interaction. Although I like the idea of not having to repeat my orders or deal with awkward chatter from people while I'm trying to get some food... I feel like there's just something weird about this. THANKFULLY it's health food and I don't have to worry about any desire to eat the food there either.

[MoscAmer]

Cheap fast and delicious? Yeah but what about the pimply faced teenagers, I'd gladly pay 3x the price for them to have privilege of restaurant employment.

[youtubeiscensorship]

I hate vending machines why would i go to a giant one to get the same poor nasty quality food and i guess no refunds or worker to complain to.
