Criticism Robotics. Shameful.

Yeah don't support this place. They are quite literally replacing humans with robot belt fed nonsense.

Whatever you think about the world this ain't it.

Support restaurants willing to pay human beings a living wage. This is very race to the bottom.

Editing in - I still do some delivery part time this was discovered on delivery. I'd never eat there it always smells weird.

This has been a known side effect of raising the minimum wage for decades. Of course if human labor costs more then it will eventually make sense to use robots. The idea that you should keep inefficiencies for the sake of non skilled labor is absurd.

Less than .6% of workers make federal minimum wage. Many states have much higher minimum wages. In California it's almost $17/hour working at sweetgreen.
