[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: getting your drinks at fastfood places

[Baracco, Andrew W]

I ate at Red Robin the other day, and there was no tablet, but perhaps
they're test marketing them or something. At applebee's, we were told
that it was a security issue because folks didn't like giving their
credit card to a stranger who takes it away and comes back several
minutes later. As for Applebee's, if you play the games on that tablet,
they charge you.

Too often people don't think. That's the problem. Too many people are
like oh a little pic will do the trick. Well, not if you can't see the
little pic. It's really sad that there were laws needing to be passed
and Congress didn't get them through. I think that is really messed up
in this day and age.
