Applebees and Chili's replacing waiters with Tablet PCs

[Ideologue]

Garbon is way right (I mean way correct) about it, though.  Applebee's blows, and there are many similarly priced, superior restaurants wherever one is to be found.  Hell, you can go under its price range and find better options: Waffle House is a significantly better place to eat.

Now wait a cotton pickin' minute. awful waffle?

Weirdo.

Over Applebee's?  Hell yeah.

For one, a lot more vegetarian options.  For two, just generally better food.  Applebee's is pretty pitiful.

...although someone still has to bring you the food; but I guess one person can do the work of three or four.

Yep.

Although being a food runner was probably the best job I ever had.  Absolutely stressless, great exercise, free food, reasonable hours, and paid almost as much as FakeLaw does with no student debt and with no furloughs.

Applebee's and Chili's are both craptacular to me, and my standards aren't exactly high.  Also, Applebee's waters down their drinks so badly that they might as well market them as virgin.

I'd take you all to Golden Corral. Ide would likely insert his penis into the Chocolate wonderfall.

You better be taking us somewhere nicer, moneybags.

Denny's then.

No way.  They opened up a Golden Showers down here a year or two ago (that's how memorable it is), and the place has been a never-ending feeding trough for A) broke students at the county college, and B) pretty much all of the Vineland Police Department.  It's kinda disgusting to watch in action, which is why I've only been twice (silly me, thought I'd give it another shot since the first time was close to when it opened).

[Ideologue]

I've been to the Golden Corrall.  It's okay.

You know what I need to go to, that I haven't been in a while?  Obviously after I get back into the 160s, obviously?  A CiCi's Pizza (a pizza buffet in case you don't know).  That's called specialization.

Are there P.F. Chang's where you guys live?  That's where I used to work and I found their heavily-American adaptation of Chinese dishes to be delightful.  As I was leaving, they were downscaling though, cutting corners with a lot of cheaper crap and reducing portions and such.  They took their Tam's noodles, one of the best things I've ever eaten, off the menu.  You can't even get those noodles at a regular grocery store.  You've got to go to Koreatown and try to remember what Koreans call 'em.   They still have shrimp and candied walnuts (YES) though.

Denny's is only good if you want flies and crying babies.

Never was much of a fan. They've actually one at Stanford near the outdoor shopping mall.

Not sure they'd let garbon through the door.

[Eddie Teach]

I hope they enjoy it when the only people who can afford to go out to eat wouldn't be caught dead at a fucking Applebee's.

Not having to tip would make it more competitive against fast food joints.

[Josquius]

Truly the world is fucked with no way out.

For now. Strikes me that one is pretty easy to replicate with robots. The trouble is the current stores are built for human delivery. If they really wanted to get rid of waiters though then all it would take would be a refit...

Hell, with these mass production chain restaurants even the cooking can be automated. I recall reading not too long ago about McDonalds looking into that.

I hear they are retard friendly, however.
