Coming soon: Robotic Fatteners
That's right, McDonalds is testing robotic food dispensing kiosks:
Outside Chicago in St. Charles, Illinois, longtime McDonald's Corp. franchisee John Lardas has reconfigured his restaurant, replacing three ordering stations manned by employees at the front counter with one traditional station and four stand-alone computers, or kiosks. "You see no lines because people are spreading themselves out," said Lardas, who estimates that 70 percent of customers now opt to use the technology.
We're puzzled, the 3 rules of robotics basically says robots aren't supposed to hurt humans, so we're predicting once the McBots get self-aware they'll stop serving burgers to people. Or it could just be a plan to get us all fat to make better batteries to power the mothership.
