No, I'm sorry but those kiosks are horrible ideas. All of those places have food that you are expected to eat with your hands. You think phone screens are gross? Try a public touch screen. I have yet to see anyone other than myself wash their hands (or even just use hand sanitizer ffs) after or before using one of those kiosks. They are likely responsible for who knows how many infections.
All of that is ontop of making what should be a 20 second interaction into (at times) multiple minutes even for someone that knows how to operate/navigate them as they constantly try to needlessly upsell things while forcing you to move your hand across the entire height of the thing to make sure you spend the maximum amount of time being advertised to. They need to go away.
