There may always be those people, but convenience and price win over personal service. Example: Wal-Mart.

if it was for price people wouldn't go at a restaurant, but just buy the cooked food and eat it home.

Most non-cheap restaurant ($12 per meal and over) will just not automate. Think about it, you can get your coke/cola from a vending machine and it has been like that for ages, but you are still not able to get the beer/fancy drink. Even if sometimes they can be rude, a bartender is part of the experience.

I should have also edited my post to add:

I frequently (3 times per week) go to tea houses to program, in order to get out of the house. Some spots cost upwards of $6 dollars, for TEA! Do I spend the money? Hell yes;

very simply because pretty asian girls serve you the tea with a smile.
