People with skills, and knowledge of how to do necessary things, will have jobs.

What happens when there are NO JOBS AT ALL. Visit an Indian Reservation. You'll see exactly what happens.

Ok, the waitress can be a robot as long as it calls me “hon”, but I want a 4 handed alien as the cook, like in Starwars.

"What happens when there are NO JOBS AT ALL." All jobs, including robot repairs, will be done by robots, and Artificial Intelligence will keep designing smarter and more efficient robots. We'll all die, but the robots will continue doing the jobs we don't have anymore, for as long as the robots last. Which might be until the end of the Earth.

The way forward is now in action in China
Phone aps for transactions call up bots that are web sites of eateries. the buyer calls up his transaction ap and then the eaterie bot menu. he selects the desired menu items anc checks out. His transaction ap knows which auto pay web payment system is in use. It pays and receipt comes to the phone
the buyer shows the phone receipt and picks up his order. Free software and good web transaction capability do the job. There is no need for expensive robot terminals. the hardware already exists!

Need to have parents that instead of just giving kids their phones and money just for breathing/pouting, actually make them get jovs and work for things.
I wonder if CPS now considers that child abuse. I started working at 13.

We go to our local Applebees perhaps once a week...it's close and easy. Last night we went and they now have touchscreens on each table. They aren't online yet, but the screens did work and I could see that the customers can do everything from ordering their food to paying the bill on them.
Not a good omen for the wait staff currently working there.
To: Secret Agent Man
No we won’t.
Because ROBOTS.

Thanks, I may check it out (behind on my recommended reading, I admit).
I like the cover... the food doors in the background are about as I remember, except now they look dated. Back then they looked super-modern.

Amazes me when visiting some homes that the teens do not even pick up after themselves, help with the cooking, set the table for dinner or load the dishwasher.
My grandsons do help with these things and when they grumble about having to load the dishwasher they get a chance to wash and dry the dishes by hand and put them away. They also know how to dust, vacuum and do their own laundry. My son tells them he is responsible for raising them so they can function independently, not be their friend. Am sure that CPS in some states would consider his treatment abusive.

Wait, when ROBOTS, we will all open casinos? Yes. That's all the ROBOTS will allow us to do. And the casinos will all be controlled by robots.

"Yes, but will there be Mexican robots to do the jobs American robots just wont do?" Absolutely! Mainly because they will be contain electronics made by slave labor robots in China.
