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.

My local Mexican restaurant went to robots….no more waitresss…the food comes with music on the robot
“I may be paranoid, but not an android.”
::There is a small restaurant a few miles away from me that makes their Mexican dishes from scratch and the place is locally-owned.::
Same here in our city - restaurant not takeout..Excellent food...
There’s a reason they call it minimum wage, because that is all the job is worth! Pay too much and price your product out of the market. Guess California restaurants are learning that lesson….
they need to have robots run for State Legislatures, they could probably do a good job always voting Democrat.
Maybe they could.
Good. I hope they’re paid well. Maybe the customers can be robots, too.
So, no spit in the Guac anymore?
Democrat elitists like Newscum don't care what happens to people, they just pretend to. All they care about is power and keeping it through their filthy politics. We see examples of that everywhere we look.
Bkm
There are a lot of unemployed robots right now.
“ Will it save money? ”
There are savings in Human Resources costs- hiring, firing, union issues, discrimination, benefits, sick leave, annual leave.
I’d say it will save money from those issues alone.
I remember years ago giving the owner of a small Chinese restaurant a $20 dollar bill and 13 cents for a 24.88 tab. He looked at me kind of strange but just keyed it in, but he went ahhhh when he got the result. I figured he was too busing scrambling around running the place to figure it out in his head. My wife told me she hated when people did what I did.
Well, at least a robot isn’t likely to spit in your food, or scratch an itch in the nether regions & then touch what they intend to serve you.
I like your optimism that they only spit in the guacamole.
It has a nice symmetry. It’s appropriate that every “worker@ look alike, since all their food items taste the same
ROBOT RIGHTS NOW!!
SO in my opinion the citizens there are getting what they richly deserve.
How’d you get away with paying only $20.13 on a $24.88 tab? Especially at a Chinese restaurant?
Kali will simply tax the robots the minimum wage.
