- What horrible city and state was this so that we can be sure to never go there? -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 10:30 1

- You would think that they could program the kiosk not to allow that -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 10:18 1
  - We honestly didn't think we had to. -- nm - Chili's Jul 28, 10:23
- You can get kicked out of Chili's? That's like getting expelled in the Bronx Zoo school system. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:17 12
  - Dawson gets kicked out of everywhere. -- nm - groiny Jul 28, 10:19 3

    - You've been kicked out of Chili's more than I've been kicked out of anything in my entire life. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:21 4
      - he almost made me beat up a cripple POW in Vegas BINGO hall. - groiny Jul 28, 10:22 3

        you had old women sharpening their knitting needles..... - groiny Jul 28, 10:30
        
        You're still young. There is time -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 10:30
I *love* those kiosks. So convenient. - ty97 Jul 28, 10:04 2
- Plus less talking to an actual person is always a plus. -- nm - spamlet Jul 28, 10:12 1
  - The only thing I dislike about them is my kids always want to play the stupid games on them - oblique Jul 28, 10:13
I kinda like those. Screw waiting 15 minutes for the waitress to come over and then wait again while she runs the card -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 10:04 23
- wait - do you guys still not have the portable, at-the-table credit and debit machines, like, everywhere? -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 10:05 14
  - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! -- nm - spamlet Jul 28, 10:07 11
    - it's just so odd that you don't. -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 10:09 10
      - 1/2 the places around me still don't take chipped cards -- nm - decline Jul 28, 10:25
      - It costs money and unless the card companies and/or the government require it it's not going to happen. - spamlet Jul 28, 10:11 1
        
        Your IM costs money too, which is what could tip the scales eventually. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 10:12
      - Next you'll suggest we should have public transit options, a woman on our money, and extraneous vowels. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 10:09 6
        
        Wait, has Canada had a female Prime Minister? - amoxy Jul 28, 10:12 4
        
        yes. briefly. -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 10:43
        
        the woman on our money isn't a PM -- nm - mud Jul 28, 10:15

        Pending one candidate who is on the fence, I think there is a *very* reasonable chance the next Conservative leader will be a woman. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 28, 10:21
        
        hey, it's not just here! -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 10:10
  - We have that approximately nowhere - ty97 Jul 28, 10:06
  - I would say that less than 10% of the places we eat a lot have them. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:06
- They just scream "super lazy customer service" to me -- nm - Strongbad Jul 28, 10:05 7
  - (We can't hire good enough staff, so we're making you do some of the work) -- nm - Strongbad Jul 28, 10:06 5
    - It's not that they can't hire good staff, they just don't want to spend the money to do so. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jul 28, 10:11
    - I see it as the smart kind of automation. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:07 3
      - I understand the appeal, just not my preference. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 28, 10:09 1
        
        Magic Bands have ruined me on human interaction on payments. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:10
      - agreed -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 10:07
  - I see it as streamlined customer service (I can leave when I want) plus increased security (only I handle my card) -- nm* - ty97 Jul 28, 10:06
I really like those. I control paying the bill rather than the server. - David Jul 28, 10:04
