Solved: The mysterious case of the Chinese robot restaurant
Posted by RickM
While China is widely reputed to have less-than-stellar working conditions, a certain restaurant in Yiwu China appeared to be taking things a little extreme. The restaurant is in full swing 21 hours a day (from 6am to 3am), and the tireless proprietors have earned the unusual nickname of the "Robot Couple".
Well, it seems this mystery was recently solved when a reporter headed to Yiwu to interview them. It turns out that this couple is actually a foursome! Two sets of identical twins who happened to marry, as well as pop out two virtually identical babies. Now that their secret is out, maybe some Chinese robotics company might employ them as around-the-clock robot salespeople?
