A restaurant in Texas is using a robot named Wall-E to deliver food to dine-in customers. Someone in Schier's LinkedIn network said he, too, spotted a robot at a Chick-fil-A in Dripping Springs, Texas, nine months ago. At Chick-fil-A, Schier said he didn't see any employees in the dining room during his morning visit. "Had to go up to get drink refill which usually had been done by host in dining room," he told Insider in an email. In 2018, the company tested a three-button call system that enabled dining room customers to make secondary orders without leaving the table.

In Arizona Senate, Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly is ahead of Republican Blake Masters by 115,000 votes with 80% in. On Dobbs, the national exit poll showed 27% of voters picking abortion as their No. And remember that our final NBC News poll found Trump as one of the most unpopular political figures we measured, especially compared with President Biden. In each state, those Democratic secretaries of state nominees were running against Republicans who cast doubt on the 2020 election result. Two of those five feature Democrat vs. Democrat contests, thanks to the state’s Top 2 primary, so those will stay in the Democratic column.
