Where seating for weary travelers once existed there are “food bars” that have been installed in the center of the airport walkways between GATES.  Sequences of Individual kiosks are perched rather high off the ground to enable the traveler to be seated, punch in her food order to an automatized server, payment is required via card before the food is served including tip which is automatically included, and then finally the food is brought forth.  The experience is not human to human but human to machine.  The sense of sharing a meal with a another human is not possible because of the singularity of the designed seating and ordering unit.
