I've seen them used in a California Pizza Kitchen to deliver food to the tables.  They didn't have arms to flail about and were basically like an R2-D2 droid with a flat head where the food tray rested.  My grandson loved it.

The artificially high "minimum" wage set by gooberment fiat has had several predictable consequences:

* Jobs lost;

* Some employees replaced by robots - cooking food and delivering food;

* Some employees replaced with ordering kiosks, e.g. the Taco Bell near us where orders are kiosk-only;

* Some businesses driven out of business;

* Pols thinking they've accomplished something and feel good.

Hot Pot, Hot Mess: Service Robot Goes Berserk In San Jose Dining Room, Must Be Tackled By Staff
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/hot-pot-hot-mess-service-robot-goes-berserk-san-jose-dining-room-must-be-tackled-staff

I am not too sure about robots.

The two Silicon Valley Haidilao locations I found on GoogMaps and on their corporate website are in Fremont and Cupertino. I may have had a Sunday lunch at the Cupertino location, but the decor in the article is different from what I remember, and I do not remember a robot doing anything.

Hot pot is like a stew or soup, where you order the boiling hot broth, the meat, and the veggies individually and you put them into the broth when it all arrives at your table. The hot broth cooks your meat and veggies. The place we went to in Cupertino had noodles in the broth, so it's probably a different place.

That part of Cupertino has changed a lot in the past 30-35 years. In 1990, the multi-acre outdoor mall where that and quite a few other restaurants are located was an open space with a couple of old oak trees. It was and is bounded by Stevens Creek Blvd, Wolfe Rd, Vallco Pkwy, and Tantau Ave. Across St Cr was and is a couple of strip malls. Across Wolfe Rd. and part of Vallco Pkwy was the Vallco Fashion Park mall, now gone. Also across Vallco Pkwy are four buildings of my former employer Tandem Computers (not Tandy Radio Shack), now defunct. Across Tantau is another building formerly used by Tandem. All those buildings are now Apple Computers buildings.

One of the central players was Giardina, a “very liberal” FBI agent who was fired from the bureau last year, according to new insights from a colleague who worked with him on the Mueller probe.

Giardina, who performed financial tasks in the special counsel office, was outspokenly biased against Trump, was convinced the lurid allegations in the discredited Steele dossier were true, and believed the president was a Russian agent, said his former colleague, who has been interviewed by the FBI.

Mueller probe cut corners, broke rules to ‘get Trump,’ whistleblower claims “Walter Giardina was very liberal in his politics and very biased in his discussions about political matters and in how he felt about people in the Trump administration,” said the unnamed agent.

“Giardina was convinced this [Russia collusion] was the biggest investigation in the bureau and was a true believer. Giardina read and believed the Steele dossier.”

...

The fact that Giardina harbored animosity toward Trump and his allies comes as no surprise to one of his victims, Navarro, a trade adviser to Trump in both presidencies.

Giardina arrested Navarro at Reagan Airport in Washington, DC, in 2022 as he was about to board a plane.

“He wouldn’t let me call a lawyer,” Navarro recalls bitterly, after spending four months in prison in 2024 for failing to comply with subpoenas from Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 star chamber.

“He put me in leg irons for a misdemeanor. He perp-walked my wife.”

Republicans and Democrats are Americans. But one of them is in the deepest denial of their lives. And they demand that everyone else go under with them.

So close, and yet so far.....

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen Resigns Following Massive Election Losses in Left-Wing Coalition
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/03/25/danish-prime-minister-mette-frederiksen-resigns-following-massive-election-losses-in-left-wing-coalition/

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen confronted President Donald Trump. She did an early election and the left got handed a huge defeat. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has resigned.

I won't give Trump all the credit for this election defeat, but I don't think her anti-Trump tantrumming played as well with voters as she thought it would.

I'm not a Catholic, but I'm pretty sure Ignatius Loyola did not approve of murder. And recognized the validity kingdoms' borders and sovereignty.

Plaintiffs waging lawfare like this need the dismissals to force them to pay the companies' legal costs and for the time/resources the company execs and employees used to defend the company. Including religious orgs that go political like this.

Just how popular can the Democrats actually be if they have to cheat in California?

It also makes one wonder just how long voter fraud has been on in California.
