Cali Group, Miso Robotics, and PopID, announced today that they are soon opening CaliExpress by Flippy™, the world’s first fully autonomous restaurant.
Plenty of quality fast food places make a point to pride themselves in being fresh and non-frozen. The awful version of those is what you’re bringing up, and people hate them for a reason.
Wendy’s is probably the most famous for that marketing
It has nothing to do with how the food is pre-prepared and everything to do with transit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbVDQKcxg00 is one of their infamous training videos, As you can see during the phat beats portion at https://youtu.be/MbVDQKcxg00?t=269, the burgers come pre-formed on wax paper. Which happens at a factory. Where it ain’t humans who are molding and seasoning the ground beef.
As an aside, mad props to the Wendy’s propaganda game. McDonald’s gives zero fucks and shows the frozen pucks even in their influencer videos. I could not find a single youtube that showed the patties before they were on the griddle until I remembered “hot drinks” and checked for the training videos.
Which… considering their food tastes like a dog shit it out is saying a lot.
No…In N Out, Five Guys, Chick-fil-A (politics aside), Shake Shack, Mos Burger, Elevation, Smashburger…there are TONS, and I’m not even including sandwich shops of the same ilk.
This article is detailing a new type of MacDonald’s which has got to be hands down the worst of the worst in fast food outside of Taco Bell and KFC.
Breading fried chicken patties is pretty trivial. Like, do you think all the chicken tenders people live off of are made by hand?
And so forth. And it is pretty telling that you aren’t even going to claim “real” restaurants where the chains often outright are just microwaving TV dinners
The vast majority of restaurants, fast or sit down, already are run by robots. They are just human beings who have had all the originality and autonomy beaten out of them rather than mechanized arms.
If you just want to ignore the largest part of the point, why would anyone want to listen to you? It’s like saying “Okay, this horrible thing is actually horrible, but HORRIBLE THINGS aside, isn’t it still okay?”
Okay. What is your actual point and what do you think I am arguing (I assume the inverse of the former but…)?
Because, so far, your counterargument mostly highlights a lack of understanding of what the service/food industry actually is and how little “human touch” is already involved in the food the world eats outside of hole in the wall eateries (that often have other, much more uniquely fucked up, labor issues).
