Burger-flipper has job safety from the AI automation robots. Test runs of Flippy the Burger Flipping robot apparently didn't last more than a day, before Flippy was let go. Apparently he wasn't fast enough, lacked social skills and other workers had to work around him and his giant burger flipping arm. Flippy 2.0 (or whatever) will probably return one day with new burger flipping artificial intelligence, an improved arm and one of them funny Hawkings-like voice boxes so he can chit-chat with the other co-workers.
"Mostly it's the timing," he said. "When you're in the back, working with people, you talk to each other. With Flippy, you kind of need to work around his schedule. Choreographing the movements of what you do, when and how you do it."

I guess we just saw the news differently, I saw it more like funny "haha the robot failed" news then anything else. Certainly so since it had already made news previously when it was announced a while back. So yes I focused more of the fun reasons why it failed aspects then talking about production numbers or anything of the kind.
That said I thought my original titles was funnier then the one that was chosen.
