Generally I do not like the idea of a machine taking over a persons job, but my exception, a huge one, is in food preparation.
A properly maintained machine should be germ free, people are not.
Cooks coughing, never showering, going to the bathroom and not washing their hands as a few examples makes me wonder if that’s why I occasionally get so sick after eating at a restaurant that I have to immediately seek the bathroom.
I know of two instances where cooks intentionally contaminated food, one where a guy hawked up a herman lugy and spit it on to a hamburger. Another is where an Army cook ejaculated some unpleasantries into the bread dough. All disgustingly nasty. So I often wonder what goes on that I do not know about?
Thirty years ago, I worked with an old guy who had worked at the Milk Dud factory back in the 40s. Let's just say that after hearing his stories, I've never eaten another Milk Dud.
