Robot breaks dishes, out of control at Cali restaurant

By Austin Michael Mar 24, 2026 | 1:36 PM

A restaurant in California has robots that move around the floor doing dances. They’re about 3 and a half feet tall and usually cute. But recently, one of the robots either dropped some bad acid or was just too funky for its own good because it went off script. Instead of being simple entertainment, it began slamming its robot hands onto customer tables and smashing plates. Three staff members grabbed and tried to pull it away while.

But, it’s a heavy robot with super robot strength and they didn’t get far. It just kept on swinging its arms around like an child having a tantrum. It went on for a while until one of the staff was able to shut it down with an app.

It’s reported that this particular type of robot is supposed to have a kill switch on its body, but none of the staff seemed to know where. Or…….. and I’m just spit balling here……. Maybe the robot found it first and took it off? I mean, do we know that it wasn’t also chanting “death to all humans”? I don’t speak robot. Or maybe it was just mad because it never got tips. We’ll never know….. until the robots take over……….. in about 8 years.
