If robots can sell coffee machines I think that they can probably say,
"With Fries?" and it is very likely that if the Nestle experiment
works, and there at present at least one Japanese company that is
currently using robots in their outlets, that companies like
Macdonald's will be looking at the same solution.

The problem being robots do no drink cocoa or eat
hamburgers... and the displaced workers will still have to
eat.
