What restaurant actually is this?

This is so outragously stupid that I have difficulty believing an actual business decided this was a good idea.

This is from a very old reddit post and they don't mention what restaurant. But I found this article of a San Franciscan restaurant that also boasts serving food on iPads. Better presentation, but still...

a restaurant actually does this for real

What in the Caucasian mickey-mouse-fuck was going through the heads of the operator when they decided to do that?

The only thing I can think of is for attention - which is a peefectly valid reason when your buisness lives and dies depending on how many people walk through the doors- but there's no way that was even close to their best option for achieving that, so it's gotta be something else.

Oh. It's a photo of a plate. At first glance, Inthought it was a clear glass plate on top of an iPad. What the actual fuck?

Just throw the iPad in the dishwasher.

I really really dislike that. I think I would hate looking down into a bright screen more than anything else about this monstrosity. Great post, op!

Did they at least serve a dish with apples?

I just don't get it and how is this sanitary?

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They may have put plastic over the iPad. But who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh no, another lost arm. Here you go: \

You know... It didn't used to do that on Lemmy but now it does. And when I try to add in the ol' reddit fix it gets worse and he loses his biceps too. So I'm just going to let him lose an arm for now...

You can clean glass pretty easily?

Apparently some people think you can’t. SMH.
