Inevitable. My local convenience store has a sandwich section with several touchscreens. You can dither in front of the touchscreen figuring out if you want mayo or vinegar and oil on your sandwich without taking up a human's time. When you're done, it prints out your order for the preparer, you pay for it, and then wait for her to call out your number.

I stopped in a McDonalds yesterday to potty, and then considered buying a snack while there. I stood in line for about 60 seconds...realized the minimum-wagers behind the counter looked just as forlorn and disheveled as the weird customers on my side of the counter...really got kind of spooked...and left.
