Horn and Hardart closed in the 1970s because given the choice, people would rather not eat in automated restaurans. But, with wealth inequality as high as it is the "automated" restaurant may be making a comeback.

Just as income inequality is bringing a new wave of app-based delivery servants.

Or people will simply prepare their own food.

I can tell you absolutely that is my response. I'm not going to eat some automated thing that nobody's checking, or has poorly maintained for the least dollars.
