As a social being, i really don't like this. But with the numbers of either stupid or introverted people working in these positions anyway, this concept is growing on me.
I had dinner at one of the restaurants inside of Laguardia airport and it was the same thing. You sit down with a tablet in front of you. It provides you with internet, music, flight information, delays, updates, whatever you want. Then you open the restaurant app, look through the menu, select everything that you would like, put it all into a "shopping car" and check out. You swipe your credit card at your seat and the waiter brings you your food and drinks. If you want to grab their attention, you can do that from the tablet also. There were only two people working for the entire restaurant and my drink showed up within 5 minutes and food within 10 minutes.
