Robot waiters get fired after disastrous performance
If the humans ain't broke, don't replace them with robots. Otherwise, your whole restaurant will itself be -- you guessed it -- broke. In a rather damning display of the limitations of technology, a fleet of useless robots meant to replace human servers have caused the demise of two restaurants in China.
