We see all sorts of automation behind the counter, without considering them "robots". Many bars will have a tap where you place a cup and click a button and it will be filled. Every Starbucks I've been to in the last year has had a fully automated coffee machine. The barista places a cup and pushes a button. The same for filling any sort of cup and fastfood chains. It's either the customers job or the clerk pushes a button and leave it to fill by itself. I think this furthers your point: The people behind the counter aren't there to make your orders. They are there to take and deliver the orders with some amount of human touch.
