FRENSO, Calif. -- You know the folks who stand along the road spinning signs? Well, we found one that is not human.

Everyday, employees just wheel the Robotic Sign Spinner out and turn on his battery.

Human Sign-Spinners who were contacted said the robots "had no class" and that humans have personality and movements that the robots just could not duplicate and that other humans would miss them if they were not at their designated corners.

Little Caesar's, on the other hand, said the robot never asked for time off or a lunch break.
