“Part of the joy I get from dining out is speaking with the hopefully pleasant, attentive and polite waitstaff about the menu, the restaurant, or the day in general.”

A different server (female) waited on the table next to us. She spent almost half the time we were there conversing with the one customer (female) at that table.
I was thinking, and almost said out loud, “Why don’t you just join her for lunch?”
If the waitress.... sorry, “server” needs a friend that bad, she should get a dog. Déjà vu all over again. (Yogi Berra)
My favorite Yogism is “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” I ALWAYS follow that advice.
“If You Wanna Be Happy” Jimmy Soul
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you’ll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she’ll always give you peace of mind
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Don’t let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don’t match
Take it from me, she’s a better catch
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an’ she’s ugly!
Yeah, she’s ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life

As an America with Italian ancestors I was intrigued by the thought of a robot able to make a hot pizza in 9 seconds. Turns out the headline was a lie. In reality the robot can take a lump of dough and mash it into a pizza shape in 9 seconds. That is a far cry from a “hot pie”. More fake news.
We just hit 30 years of a pretty great marriage. Mine doesn’t dote either and I don’t think she’s ever made me breakfast. She’s not a breakfast fan.
My only issues is that she has zero sympathy for me when I’m sick or hurt.
When I hurt my back and was lying on the floor, she kicked me like a dead fish on the beach and said “Did you drop a 12 1/2 lb kid with no drugs? Nope? Then deal with it.”
I laughed till it hurt, which in my back pain weakened state didn’t take too much.
Now there is an opportunity Subway could consider for making their sandwiches.
There may be fewer jobs for students but there is also the potential to seriously reduce the cost of living for students as well.
The actual cost to make a pizza is about 25% of the sales cost of the pizza.
A college dorm’s student association could easily afford to purchase a pizza robot and sell pizza to the residents at close to cost.
This could put a lot of pizza shops out of business.
“Now there is an opportunity Subway could consider for making their sandwiches.”
Since according to the article the robot cant handle toppings it wouldnt work for sandwiches. What I would recommend to Subway is to stop locating their stores in what look like condemned buildings.
Don’t gloat, robot makers. In a few years there will be a whole branch of trial lawyers who push for “robot” rights - living wage, right to marry other robots or humans, retirement, etc.
Not only that, but further down in the article, it says Zume specializes in piping hot chocolate cookies made by robots and delivered by waiters on electric skateboards.
LOL
Wasn’t that the subject of a Twilight Zone epi?
That’s the other extreme, when waitresses forget their professional boundaries. Most likely, that chatty customer was being polite, hoping each new sentence the waitress uttered would be a wrap up to the dialog, allowing her some privacy. A watchful manager knows that it’s not good for waitstaff to bestow so much individual attention on one customer it makes other customers feel ignored by comparison.
“That’s all well and good, but are they going to pay these robots a ‘living wage’?”
No, but you can be darn sure “employers” will be taxed on their robots just as the displaced (now unemployed) employees were taxed by the government. Somebody has to pay to keep the government in business.
I think I’ve read a story about that happening already.
I didn’t say anything other than that
There are certain jobs that can only be done in person. That also will not change
One can find pizza in new york. Not in california :-)
Agree and you don’t have to worry about unwashed hands.
I lived in Maryland for 12 years. I guess the area between Baltimore and DC isn’t southern enough for Cracker Barrel or Waffle House. Never saw either one there.
When I retired in 2012 and moved back west to Oregon, I had a mid-life crisis and bought a sports car, Mazda RX-8, and drove across this great, huge country. I had dinner one day at a Cracker Barrel in Lincoln, Nebraska. Only one I’ve ever seen. It was nice enough.
Do you think they would know how to make a Full English Breakfast?
See, now if you tipped better...
