You like it because it's running a basic CNC program on a Win 98
computer. :-)

People stopped writing W/98 viruses around the turn of the century so
they are pretty secure. Most script based attacks just pop an error
and abort.
BTW this Caliburger business is really responding to labor costs. They
already have that "order and pay" on your phone deal going.
I assume it is just a matter of time until these places have a "lights
out" kitchen where the raw ingredients go into one end and prepared
orders pop out the other. There may be a day very soon when you can
get your burger and fries out the window without ever seeing or
talking to a live person.

There must still be ways to make them taste worse or be even less healthy

Living around fast food for around 15 years I can say the biggest
factor in both is the staff in the store.
The biggest factor on the taste is the balance of the things they put
with the meat and the bun itself. Buns are almost always locally
sourced so that can be significantly different from place to place.
The other issue is the produce, again locally sourced.
Both of these can depend on the franchise holder and who he has
business relationships with.
That may be different in stores that are virtually within sight of
each other.
The machine can't pick the ingredients but it can duplicate the recipe
every time. You will always get exactly the right amount of everything
else than makes up a good burger. The machine will also make the fries
perfectly every time and not leave them in the fryer too long because
someone was day dreaming.

The health issue is more about sanitation than calories and fat.
Machines are not sneezing in the lettuce or handling the buns without
a good hand washing after taking a ****.

Fortunately, we don't have much of a "taste" here for "fast food,"
especially fast food burgers and KFC sort of food.

My lawyer/luthier friend has a small CNC setup that he uses to cut
inlays and rosettes for guitars. He's a Mac guy all the way but the CNC
he has runs on an old Windows laptop running Win 98. Never connects to
the Internet though.

They were warned this was coming. Auto workers are next.


Well, there goes your best hope for a retirement job.
