If you look around at automation, bars are also going that way, and you can figure that bartenders are going to be disappearing over the next ten years. You will walk into a bar, pay the cashier at the front for a beer and be handed a glass, which you will walk up to a dispenser...put your pin number in, and the glass will be filled. Other than someone to gather glasses to be washed, the beverage-filler in the storeroom, and the cashier....that’s the only employees you will require.
I was just reading earlier an ad for the Korig alcoholic drink dispenser being released, so you’re probably right on target about walking up to a machine to get dispensed a manhattan. Imagine larger units - with breathalizers attached - over the BA limit and no drinky dispensed
I think that many people...won't like that.
