Applebees and Chili's replacing waiters with Tablet PCs

[Admiral Yi]

Yes, yes it is.  A businessman not in the business of maximizing profits is not a good businessman.

Not that part, the other part.

Do you think businesses should not embrace technology that makes end result better for their consumers, if it will result in the need for fewer employees?

Actually, that wholly depends on whether I'm one of their employees or one of their consumers.

[The Brain]

For the sake of credibility let's say consumer.

Jobs cost money and negatively impact the potential of profits.  Therefore, in order to maximize profits, jobs have to go.  Maybe not until every other alternative is exhausted, but in the end, they need to go.
I'm surprised you didn't know that.

I have been to places where the server inputs the order into a tablet type device.  I dont think I would like to eat at a place where I need to input the data myself.

In order to make sure my order gets entered correctly, I'd absolutely prefer to enter the data myself.  Plus I'm sort of a control freak when it comes to things like this, so I go with self-service whenever it's an option.

[Ed Anger]

I'm hungry.

French Republican, maybe.
