Robot servers


 We went with a good friend to a Chinese dim sum restaurant recently.  I had never seen robots in there serving the dishes before.  Each robot had a table number displayed and you could remove the dishes from the trays yourself.  Someone came to help us if we didn't take the dishes off the robot trays.  You can't help thinking that more servers were out of jobs now.

Do you tip the robot?

Christine said...

Oh they ask for a tip when you pay that is never forgotten

I wonder if the robots are a result of not being able to find employees.

I have never seen a robot server. I have been a server and can't imagine not having the personal touch when it comes to dining.

Verdade, com certeza empregos foram perdidos...
Os robôs, para o bem ou não, estão cada vez mais
presentes nas nossas vidas.
Bom fim de semana!

Our local restaurant had to close another day a week (Wed.) since they didn't have servers. Crazy times.

I don't like using the self checkout at stores and probably wouldn't like this either.
