"flipping burgers" is a colloquialism for fast food work. It involves a lot more than rotating patties on a grill.
McDonald's doesn't even flip burgers. They use a two sided grill with a timer.
Wendy's does it like that, and Burger King has a little conveyor belt and the patty gets blasted with fire as it goes through.
That sounds like a more reasonable automation than a robot arm.
Which is kinda funny since I think that's kinda how Hamburg steaks were often cooked historically. The grill was used for hamburgers once it became more common since the actual oven grill thing was too expensive or complex.
i am eager to see the new laser cooked burgers. whenever they invent them
Lasers in a McDonald's: the new frontier in OSHA violations
its also a euphamism, and insult for people who had a degree who hasnt found a job in thier field too.
