It's official! - Robots are replacing humans.
Chipotle restaurants in California have introduced two robots to replace human workers in an effort to slash labor costs in response to the state-mandated $20 minimum wage. The first robot called the "autocato" can peel, stone, and cut an avocado, and then turn it into guacamole in 26 seconds. The other robot dubbed the "digital makeline" has the ability to portion salads and bowls based on orders from the mobile app.
The robots are part of an automation push that Chipotle's executives think could reduce the number of employees and help lower rising labor costs, as reported by the Daily Mail. The machines are currently being used at restaurant locations in Huntington Beach and Corona del Mar.
The controversial $20 minimum wage hike signed into law by Gov. Newsom took effect on April 1, which immediately sparked mass layoffs and permanent business closures. Burger King and other chains have already reduced the number of cashiers by rolling out digital ordering terminals in their Golden State locations.

I had a reply ready to go. It had bluetooth, apps, dildos and batteries, but thought better of it.
Or Whether they are AC or DC.🤔
I see Copilot on my Win 10 computers but didn’t know what it was. AI, I guess.
And once the robot is paid off, it will help a lot with the business’ bottom line.
Another trend is high school kids that are in robotics clubs that go into industrial engineering.
They will go there to have their sockets filled with juice.
