We were up north twice in the last month and ate in a couple of restaurants with newly installed kiosks. I guess the owners are tired of waiting for people to return to the work force.

Returning is not the issue, there is no affordable childcare, servers have died or have long covid, they have found better paying jobs, and their pay is horrible. Service industiries need the new approach. I was in Seattle where their restaurants are booming because they require facemasks and vaccine cards to get in, has not hurt their business.
