Walking at Night in Otsuka

My wife and I were walking to go eat ramen at Chabuton in Otsuka at night when I decided to take a few shots along the way……..

Fast Food Faster: Express Self Ordering?

I walked into my new neighbourhood A&W and noticed they only had a single-cashier set-up and I thought that was odd for a fast food joint. Then I noticed the ‘Self Order’ kiosk. I didn’t realize that minimum wage was too expense for these places to operate, thus replacing humans with robots!! Self check-out at grocery stores, self-pump at gas stations, and now self-ordering at fast food joints. What’s next? 

My guess is that in the future movie theaters, airports, dry-cleaning, department stores and even restaurants (computerized self-seating and self ordering) will all be run by machines and computers. We can go all day without coming into contact with other humans in the future. Don’t worry, we’ll all have smart phones and tablet computers to keep us company instead. Doesn’t that sound like fun?
