Robot order taker gets verbal customer input
$tomato0 'nothing specified (default)' = 1 slice
$tomato1 'extra tomato' = 2 slice
$tomato2 'no tomato' = 0 slice

order is transmitted to burger flipper robot to be processed as id=3455035635

all slices are 4mm

each added item is the same 0,1,2
it's a fast food burger not fine cuisine or subjective culinary art.

Robots won't spit on your food in malice either. In theory they could scan for foreign matter possibly -- metal definitely. Foreign organic material might be a problem to scan without eyesight. A robot might leak hydraulic fluid into the food before it shuts down with a malfunction -- shields have to be designed with safe drainage until a malfunction shutdown occurs.

So, you can see there are jobs for robotics design engineers and software programmers -- and for the foreseeable future robotics repair technicians.

What is more interesting is nonomedicine. Microscopic robots that can deliver services to humans by navigating the circulatory system and performing 'micro functions'.

In the next 20 years robots and drones will change the world we live in in many ways -- mostly good but some bad. Adapt or die ... UBI (universal basic income) is going to have to happen if we robotize. So, robots will pay taxes in some way.
