And frame it as a collaborative robot to work along side humans. I suspect all the poors working at Chipotle wanting to get paid $20 an hour for a living wage will not see the robot as very collaborative.

Didn’t know people ate Chipotle anymore. Thought it was a fad that would fade.

Why do you think they can't pay their workers and are replacing them with robots?

More robots please. The number of times I walk into Chipotle and stand at the front of the line to order while every employee does whatever they can to look busy and not actually serve customers astounds me.

Harassment

I guess the breakup is hitting them hard if they are signing on at Chipotle.

They wanted $15/hour and more in some states. And they are getting it.

I never had this problem at Izzo's in BR or now at Bullritos here in Houston.

Damn good grub, but it is expensive for fast food.

According to a report, grub hub said burritos were the most ordered item in the US in 2022.

All those $20/hour life-long fast food workers better learn how to work on robots

And this will be a hard lesson for them to learn as to why those demands are stupid. Fast food (for the most part) isn’t meant to be a career or to support families. Not that $15 an hour will either but it’s why they are missing the point entirely.

Cobots are the first step to them being completely replaced. And they don’t even realize it, and won’t until it’s too late.

Yep, that thing is going to be Out of Order even more than the shake machine at McDonald’s.

If a robot can do it, it’s not worth $20 per hour
