Actually it would improve food safety outcomes, and no one would spit in your burger because they didn't like the look of you. I hate McDonalds food, but if I liked McDonalds I'd be happy to buy Big Macs (always at least 2) and Fries from a vending machine that was set up to make burgers on the fly.
The world is destined to automate shitty repetitive jobs that kills people in their souls, and that is a good thing because the world will also adjust so that there are all sorts of other meaningful jobs in areas that no one has even dreamed of yet and unemployment won't be higher than it is now. The important hing ofcourse is a good education system that doesn't spit out a proportion of people who are capable of nothing but shitty soul destrying crappy work.
If a $35,000 robot is better than hiring someone at $15/hr then over time it will be better than hiring someone at $7.25 an hour and the cost of the robot will come down soon enough as the cost of all tech eventuyally drops, especially as businesses start to adopt the new tech.
