I would be scared as fuck if a microwave started on its own. I mean so they are ready to put some slice of pizza they had the other day in at a specific time because they set it up to start the day before??? Also how many additional sales would they actually see with that feature. Im sorta aware of these things and I thought they were a bit premium and used even dumber setups. Like one was the thing is constantly trying to start itself and there is a thing that blocks it so you are not starting it but taking away the thing that keeps it from working automatically and then reblocking it.
