Yup. I liked the hot bar at whole foods.

I wonder what this will do to places like CiCis and Pizza Ranch.

I guess they could just have runners grab stuff for you.

Though I'm sure the few people working buffets might not be enough to serve the dining room without hiring more.

Or do lunch lady style

Say goodbye to an American Institution, Golden Corral.

Might help some people avoid the Wu though.

Those machines are the the fricking worse. Even the normal flavor taste awful


I like cherry coke, so I like the idea of the machine, but they taste like the last 10 flavor combos that passed through it.

Yeah, just seems like a lot of those places run on skinny margins and not a lot of labor.

Adding a few lunch ladies to cover a buffet probably drives up the cost to the point where it's not worth it.

Everything from a self-serve buffet to the self-serve fountain drink machine to the self-serve fro yo machine could be impacted.


Lots of stuff is self serve like banquets, condiments at sporting events, business meeting with meal, church pot luck, hotel breakfast, donuts at the grocery store, salad bars ........

I don’t even touch the old school beverage fountains.

The cup pushes the lever for the ice and the drink.

It sounds gross but El Magey on Siegen has a legit Mexican lunch buffet. They better not shut them down.

In the short term, won't they just hire a teenager to stand there to refill your drink or yogurt?


So the teenager touches your drink, then the next persons, and next persons, etc. what’s the difference?

Hey... if it gets rid of those stupid 1,000 flavor Coke abominations that don't even use syrup, I might be for it.



Worst invention ever. Blow my mind that coke still pushes them out.

What about the ones at places like Circle K? Are those shut down already? Will that be a thing of the past?

Ryan’s Family Steakhouse was the shite back in the day.

A pizza buffet sounds good right now.
