German restaurant replaces waitstaff with computers

Bad news, waiters and waitresses: Your days are numbered. You're about to become obsolete, replaced by technology that can do your job more efficiently and without requiring tips. A new restaurant in Nuremberg, Germany, has replaced its waitstaff with a completely automated system that delivers meals to diners via a gravity-powered rail system.

Sure, while that might be kind of cool and cheap for the owners, are diners really ready to give up that personal interaction with servers? Can a computer really make good recommendations? Can you flirt with a cute computer? I didn't think so. Perhaps you shouldn't get worried about your job security just yet, waiters and waitresses.

Oh, my. Der Waffle Haus will never be the same.

I expected to be served by Tron in a kiss the cook apron.

Id love to see that in action. I wonder where it is...I want to go back to Germany now!

Maybe waiters and waitresses can now aim higher as a result of the implementation of this new technology. Oh wait, as long as the economy is runned by retards, they might have no choice but to be secondary to zeros and ones! oh well!

That's nice (I guess - though I'd rather be served by a person), but how do you complain if there's a fly in your soup?
