They call him Flippy

The launch of Flippy, a burger-flipping robot by an American fast-food chain has led to fears among kitchen staff that this is the end of their jobs.

Flippy can not only work non-stop for hours grilling the perfect burger, it knows when to switch between using one spatula for raw meat and another for cooked and can also wash the dishes and clean the grill. So it’s got all bases covered. Well except one. Which is why restaurant cooks should stay positive as I’ve yet to hear of a robot who can empty its bodily juices into the dish of a customer who’s being obnoxious.
