Are salad-making robots the dystopian future of lunch? asytsma writes
Illustration: Kyle Ellingson Yesterday, I ate my first Sad Desk Salad in well over a year. I wasn’t actually back at an office desk, but a Sweetgreen just opened next to my apartment, so I bought some lunch. The entire operation was, for better or worse, exactly as I remember it: shockingly efficient , completely nondescript , and blandly antiseptic .

As Sweetgreen recently told Insider, “Ultimately the vision is to have Spyce’s technology power Sweetgreen’s restaurants.” The plan, the site reports, is to build “a new product and concept that will best achieve Sweetgreen’s goals in our restaurants as we scale.

The food is a MacGuffin, the thing around which to build the larger enterprise, but which has no intrinsic value of its own. Warby Parker and Away and Everlane and Sweetgreen all feel basically interchangeable because they are the same thing. Would I care if a robot made my suitcase? Not really.
