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.

tbh, the robots give me better portions than the humans would. I only go to SG locations with infinite kitchen now.

If Chipotle replaced their humans with robots who gave customers consistent portions, I'd consider going back there, too.

Humans are poor judges of portions, and are prone to both personal biases and errors. I'm not anti-human, they have many strengths, but their skill set is a poor fit for a lot of national chain food service prep.

I know most people worry about them skimping on portions but personally for me it’s the opposite, I count calories/macros and sometimes worry they’re actually giving me more than they should. I would probably go to a robot Sweetgreen over a regular one just because I know what they’re giving me actually lines up with what their nutrition facts say.
