What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world? (lemm.ee)

i just want to pay cash, otherwise i prefer kiosks... but i see a future of hostile, nagging UI design...
like at some stores self checkout, you have to click 80 different confirmations and give your phone number, email and social security number...

The auto kiosks in Japan take cash and they are also mechanical and not touch-screen based (at least in most stores). They are tactile buttons. :D

That's why you have GDPR.
