Roboburger: Fresh Burgers from a Vending Machine

[Horn Under a Bad Sign 20627]

New vending machine makes fresh burgers in six minutes while you wait.
 

I want to try one. My question is this: why is it a "worrying" sign?  I understand that some fast food workers will lose their jobs, but doesn't that free them up to do other, more creative/productive work?

I was intrigued and I'm all for a robot making my food, but these guys, this machine ain't it.  Group of robot nerds who don't understand food and apparently after years of work can't even get a simple burger right.  Look at what a shitty product it kicks out. I mean the ketchup and mustard are on separate side (like left/right) and the cheese didn't even make it on most of the burger.  If they understood food at all they would work to make a robotic fry machine first:

Think of all those elementary school kids today dreaming of someday being on the other side of the counter slinging happy meals. Dreams are getting crushed, bro.

Can't they just program the sex robots to also make burgers?

Or a simple turkey and swiss on wheat would suffice.

What's more productive than cooking me a fucking cheeseburger?

That's a very good point.

[DaysOff 8004]

There's a pizza making machine in terminal B at the SAT airport.

[smuggs 9354]

At which point do the pubes get applied to the burger?

I think this place is now closed, but I still like watching robots make burgers.

Like all technology, never judge it by the first iteration. Think of it 20 years from now. And I sure as fuck would rather have a robot make my burger than a disgruntled person making 7.50/hour

I'd be more interested in having a great big woman wearing a feathered costume eat a regular burger, then lean over me and regurgitate it down my mouth like I'm a baby bird.

How about a blonde actress?

I know the guys who build these machines figure they've made them impossible for bugs to get inside.

Hopefully if they are cooking raw meat, they clean it once a day

Yes it does.  I'm looking forward to the results.  

 

[po elvis 2089]

Does it cook one at a time? If I want 4 burgers am I having to wait 24 minutes? If I want 1 burger but some guy in front of me orders 4 burgers am I waiting 30 minutes? I am all for self order kiosks, but in this form it doesn’t sound that great.

I like how the machine makes the entire burger, and then when its finished, it requires a guy to transport the burger like 3 feet to another guy who then puts it on a tray. Who knows how many more people will get involved before it finds itself in the hands of the customer.

Bring back the Automats from the good ole days.

"So you physically take the burger to the customer?" 
"Well... No. My secretary does that."

Oh, it'll be cleaned. That's what ants do.

Silly Me.   I just to the NRT 7-11 and grabbed a sixer of Kirin for 10 bucks or so, and found a window with a nice view of the airfield while waiting for my connection.

No to the burger.

This is their idea of “cheese?”

Imagine how badly they’d fuck up lettuce, pickles, and onions.
