The problem with having robots do this kind of work is that the majority don't integrate well: they don't learn English, they don't drink in pubs and they have their own schools.

Yep, I just had some automatons moving into my building they didn't bothered learning English they just squiggle ones and zeros and speak in two tones with modulated pitch.

They also suck benefits I hear they pay commercial utility bill rates and like pay no taxes.

I am sure if we try enough we can integrate robot society into our society. Little William can go to school with little Robby and they can be best friends, until one day when Robby tries to give William a hug inadvertently killing him. Then I believe there will be a real backlash against robot society.

To be honest, a lot more robots could be used if locations were designed for them in the first place. I'm not exactly expecting to see my bartender get replaced by a humanoid robot, as seen in Passengers, anytime soon. Instead I expect more to follow the McDonalds route; changing the entire food ordering flow by having touch screen displays dotted around the restaurant, where you can quickly tap in an order.
