    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.

    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.
