Walgreens run pilot with Theranos and see where it all went. Running pilot is usually done on the best machine they have under constant supervision of the second in line to the tech who built in. Different than deployment off the production line hundreds of machines without even knowing a real-life breaking ratio. Also the cost of operation is somewhat at $3,500 or some $17 per hour for a full shift, so much more than average cook takes (excluding tips which this machine won't get). Not to mention cooks very rarely just cook... they do all kind of in kitchen tasks that this machine cannot.

I guess we'll find out since this one is moving beyond the pilot. $17 per hour is less in many areas, considering cost to the company for a person also includes additional things like payroll taxes.
