humans bring emotion to their jobs

No I prefer a human, there is too much automation in the world today, I want human contact

I would have to assume that you don’t have to tip a robot..(unless you get bad service and decide to tip it over..)

No

A very definite no.

I think it is plain ridiculous to even consider it!!! There are enough people being put out of work because of robots. Let us hope the Government wakes up soon and puts a stop to it - before it is too late.

According to Wikipedia... "Robots have replaced humans in performing repetitive and dangerous tasks which humans prefer not to do, or are unable to do because of size limitations, or which take place in extreme environments such as outer space or the bottom of the sea" I wouldn't mind being served by a Robot and I think some 'Dangerous' tasks are better left for Robots to do :-) As C3PO might say to R2D2, 'Ohh!! Now look what you've done...' ;-)Edited 11-Oct-22 22:34pm

I just got told by a Rewardia robot that all the blue survey's I have been completing and effort put in is not worth squat . ... The reply was "we had a problem with the company so you will not be paid " ??!!!???!!!!????!!!!. Very disrespectful on Rewardia for treating the people that use this like SHIT

If we keep giving all the jobs to robots, there will be no employment for people

Not really

No

No

It would be great to see them have a baby,

No

No - it is so impersonal it takes any fun out of going out.

Yes but as a compliment & aid to human staff not in place of them.

No way. I like the personal touch, and what about the jobs of the poor hospitality workers? Can't you just see the Robot getting a blackout or lightening strike, or even a glitch? Throwing your hot soup on you, delivering the wrong meal, or even strangling you with the napkin. It's called looking at every possible eventuality.

WHY NOT!!!!! WE ARE SOOO SHORT OF STAFF IN THE HOSPATALITY INDUSTRY IN NZ IT WOULD ENABLE RESTRUANTS TO BE OPEN THE FULL HOURS THEY ONCE WERE. WENT LOOKING FOR A RESTRUANT TO TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTER OUT TO LUNCH TOMORROW ( SHE IS ALMOST 16) AND 7 OUT OF TEN DID NOT OPEN TILL 5PM BECAUSE OF STAFF SHORTAGES. BRING ON THE ROBOTS!!!!

Good great no breathing on food .no colds.cough not touching their face .hair or pulling up their pants no finger dipping hopfully qiucker service with waiting periods -Hospitality trained 30 yearsEdited 12-Oct-22 15:44pm

Doesn't really matter the world is changing and it's like robots are the way to go but I personally prefer humans

We are watching a show with James May- Brit TV presenter- he is in Japan- some amazing insights. They visit a sushi "restaurant" where the food is delivered on a circuit like a mini train track and placed on by robots. I think i would like to experience a robot serving me- though a cute one not some scary Robocop type one. And i certainly would rather a robot greeting than those annoying cheery door greeters at stores..uggh leave me alone haha. And another thought- if it meant decreasing the risk of catching the Vid or similar then yes..robot serve me please. Tho' they'd prob have some bot virus that would morph and cross into a human virus. Interesting subject! thanks :)Edited 11-Oct-22 19:43pm

How can restaurant owners afford to buy robots?! Human robots might be cheaper...

Nope

already we can put money in a machine for cans of drink or money, is food so very much harder? Lots of people buy 'fast food', I can see KFC and the like being served thru a 'hole in the wall'....

and I suppose 'restaurant' owners will expect us to put significant sums in the tips jar to help ensure that we get food service, Yeh, right.

No prefer us humans

um

Look at the bright side there will be no hair or spit in my food

Gee why don’t we just do away with the human race altogether

Not my cup of tea thanks

Absolutely not. I am reminded of terminator and all the other robot movies. Terrifies me lol!

Automated robot has commenced in that food is delivered by an automated robot on wheels . still have to order at counter . It is quite a novelty at the moment

No thanks. Bit hard trying to get a order right with a human

It might be fun for a while

we were in a restaurant where a robot was serving. It got stuck on a metal strip and threw the food around. The mess then had to be cleaned up by humans and food reordered

no

Really no

No way! I prefer human interaction all the way.

No no interest

Nope!

buffet style restaurant, which you can help youself. there is no servent but you self youself. By the way, I thought the dinner table rule, is " NO talking while eating"

I'd probably have some privacy concerns. Surely this thing is using facial recognition technology.

Prefer personal discussion rather than robotbserver

Prefer personalised service that enables discussion

No, I like walking

No

Yes

Good for a gimmick. But I like talking to people. Mind you some of the surly stand offish staff I have come across I can do without

Define what you mean by Robot most people these days interact with Robots daily without realizing it.

Love to and also I would take many photos

Yes it would be fun as a novelty.

Why not aren't we being serviced by them now?

yes for a change, might be nicer than a person.

No I prefer a live person.

I'd eat somewhere else

No, a million trillion times No! Thanks to the Internet, Mobile phones and other technology there is more than enough isolation already. During the Covid Pandemic people described how Lonely, how Isolated, how their own and their Children's Mental Health had been so badly impacted as a direct result of the Isolation, Home schooling, Work-from-Home. Claims which I found weird. Until Covid people were claiming how Connected they were, how they were in almost constant or, at least, daily contact with their Friends, Family Members & mythical 1000s of "friends" on those ghastly and Dangerous ill-named "Social Media" sites. Covid did not stop them being in so much contact so why the drama-queen claims when Covid19 arrived as to how mentally damaged they all were!! I and my family all have access to the Internet and On-line buying. We still prefer to do all our shopping In-Store as it means that we have contact with Real People and not mythical 1000s or millions whom in all probability no-one will ever meet! What sort of "friendship" is that? Just as with self-driving autonomous vehicles, what will people do when their jobs disappear or, rather, are replaced with robots? Just watch the explosion of Mental Health problems, Drug and Alcohol Addiction! If, as the politicians claim, Suicide is a Major Problem today, just wait until the maelstrom of Suicides hits us as a direct result of Robots and other autonomous systems. As the saying goes: "You ain't seen nothing yet, Baby"

no

Why not? so many restaurants are having a hard time hiring servers. It's not like they are taking jobs away from people who want to work. At least they won't spit in your food.

Hell no

no

No

All they want to do is make more money and not have to worry about paying wages it's just greed as far as I'm concerned

It's not aliens we should be worried about it's robots!

No, unless food was markedly cheaper from the staff reductions

Depends I guess, in one way no as young people rely on these kind of jobs and yes as I think it would be some thing quite cool and amazing to see. One way of keeping costs down in the industries but they need the robots to start with so a huge up front expense. Once owners replace humans doing this kind of work, What will be next? Nurses, Teachers, Police, Ambulance drivers, Fire Fighters? It could quite and utterly be endless.

Why not? I work with nutters

I’d much rather be served by a young person striving to make it through school or college than just have the money go to a machine

No thank you. I will stick with humans

After giving my blood ,sweat and tears to the hospitality trade I am appalled by this very notion! Lately it's bad enough finding a tab on the table that u must have smartphone to use ,then scan the menu and order. Or get up and go to the bar. At least there is a little human banter there and warmth as that's the name of the game HOSPITALITY!!

no

no no and no the human race will no longer excist we will be none excistance the robots will rule the world we will be there slaves

no

Sure it will be fun

you know things are getting bad how many times have you started a survey and they ask are you a robot if I was served by a robot and he asked how I would like my steak I couldn't resist saying weld done, and if they drove to work they would always get in trouble for speeding cause they would put the metal to the pedal, sorry couldn't help myselfEdited 11-Oct-22 09:56am

No. I don't talk to them even if they talk to me

Who cares if the order is right? Waiters/waitresses couldn't care less lately.

No

No, how cold! - sometimes this type of "progress" is not a good idea.

no

no

No, mind you some of the 'real' ones could be a little nicer sometimes. I am thinking of the young people who do this to support their income for university etc and indeed anybody that does this for a living.

No! I like service with a smile.

I kinda like the idea of robot serving. In retail it mite actually know about the stock it is trying to sell

Something good something wrong technological. No for me. Look like years to came no jobs in restaurant, shop and supermarket as robot will takebover and be so cheaps them human. If you don't like vold this places and see how long they keeps the robot. If all did with self checkout in the began they would not have its. And bitchs on social media to stop never had itsEdited 11-Oct-22 08:45am

Not in restaurants

no

Thanks to my grandson I use a robotic vacuum cleaner so a robot serving my meals would not be a problem.

let the robots serve the robots. another idiot USA globalist idea. along with eating grubs while these demonised aliens continue to eat meat, have human servants fly their planes and use gas and coal, but expect the peons to obey these arrogant idiots

I keep up with the news and technology world and have yet to hear the restaurants where I live are even TALKING about this stupid idea. Man, someone says something and the next thing you know, everybody thinks it's a fact and really happening. Do your research on these ideas you hear people banter aimlessly about. No robots getting jobs in restaurants here. Not for as many moons as we'll be on the earth. Hypothetically, maybe. Really? Not. Edited 11-Oct-22 08:10am

Nope

I don't agree. People need to earn wages.

I wouldn’t

Would love it

No, no matter how human it looks or sounds.

No. Just imagine if it spilled a drink on you and tried to wipe it up with a steel claw. Eew!

No way! Haven't you seen iRobot!?

No, don't like taking jobs away from people.

Not my preference. But even worse will be the day we humans serve the robots!

No. Prefer the real life person. Much easier to talk to

Hell NO. Technology and the internet are taking over our lives. Humans are meant to work and be mobile. We need to interact with each other not with machines.
