Not at la costeña. They were pretty imperturbable. Plus it was here in the Valley, where apartments that came with internet connections had been around for a couple of years. This was all pre web of course.
I drove past that corner just the other day. The old crappy building has long been torn down and replaced by a modern multistory building. The burrito operation had long moved across the street and a little down the road to a former fast food joint but I believe is gone now.
Apparently the restaurant distributed its own order form for completion then sending via Fax. The original author of the program reproduced it in Postscript almost perfectly, including the typos!
Can't help but wonder if receiving a professionally typeset burrito order by fax would have raised any eyebrows in 1992.
Probably not much. Faxmodems were a thing in the 80's. Maybe not common in the early part of the decade, but common enough that we had one in my home at least by 1988.
I wonder how the experience on the restaurant side compares to the delivery apps. Fax machines and printers in general are essentially designed for this workflow.
Do order app orders show up on a printer? Or is it some awful proprietary app and there's a dedicated iPad chained to the wall?
