Story summary
  • Jag Gonzalez rescued a food-delivery robot that had fallen on a Los Angeles sidewalk.
  • The robot is small, squat, AI-controlled and cannot stand upright.
  • Gonzalez later saw an Adidas-clad pedestrian crouch, stare at its LED eyes, say “You suck,” and kick it.
  • In 2026, Americans repeatedly kicked, tipped and walloped food-delivery robots delivering sushi, pizza and White Castle chicken rings.
