Okay, looking at it as the computer helping you stay in the flow is certainly a different perspective.
It might be looking back on my time in fast food with a slightly more romanticized lens than most would probably give it. :)
There’s a short-order chef game my kids play on the iPad, you can practically see the endorphins pumping when they manage to serve all the customers in time.
The human brain is definitely wired for this sort of thing.

Me too probably. I loved my fast food job in high school. That said, I'm glad I'm not still doing it.
In some sense, the automation of demand prediction takes some of the fun out of gaining that intuition yourself. On the other hand, it is nice not to be the queue blocker with orders piling up behind you because you weren't prepared for a sudden burst of traffic...
