Jack in the Box hires robot workers

I went into Jack in the Box tonight in Issaquah, Washington to get a burger.

I walked inside, and to my surprise there was no workers. There was only the machine (pictured right). I had to order using it.

In other words, another human job was taken away by machines.

How long until machines are also in the back making the burgers?

The Camouflage car: I believe this is actually what Brandon drove in high school.


The Mystery Machine: This is what I drove in high school with my buddys Shaggy and Scooby, Daphne, Velma and Fred. We solved mysteries and hunted ghosts and stuff.


The OFFICIAL Just South of North mobile: This is what Brandon and I cruise around Spokane in now. They see us rollin....
