Meet Gordon, your gleaming white robot barista

[How Sway?]

Robots welding cars in factories are a familiar sight. And now robots in the mall making coffee might become equally ordinary.

Startup Cafe X opens its first robotic cafe Monday in San Francisco's Metreon shopping center, a highly visible example of the increasing technological automation in our lives.

A squat white robot arm, nicknamed Gordon after a company engineer, operates a pair of standard professional coffee machines to serve you premium-grade $2.25 espressos and $2.95 caffe lattes.

What's weird is, I don't see this catching on - at least not for a long while IMO. Baristas are like one of the few jobs people enjoy having a human do. Like i have both a chick at Peet's and a guy at Starbucks who have gotten to know me - well as much as you know someone you spend 5 minutes with - they know my orders, thus have hooked me up with extra shyt from time to time. I'm not fukking with no robot barista
