I saw this thing last night and nobody used it! My friend and I were actually sat at it so I suppose we were preventing anyone from using it. Pour your own O'Haras or Hooker or something would be good but as someone said only if it's cheaper which of course it won't be.
I too hate all these gimmicky self-service things. I was in a library last week and when I tried to take something out the nice lad at the desk tried to direct me towards a self-service thing to take out books yourself. I told him I didn't like those things and prefered human interaction which he wasn't too impressed by.
