So the government (illegally) forces businesses to pay a higher minimum wage. Businesses then switch to robots.
Robots don’t get a salary. But robots don’t spend any money either, so, if this continues, there will be robots making hamburgers for other robots.
No, but their owners do, and so do the people who make them. Ultimately, money always ends up in the pocket of a human being, who will spend it. The chain may get longer as some people are replaced by robots, but there's always a human at the end of it.

Only Bender (what ever happened to Bender [1]?)is qualified to comment on this...
If they dream of electric sheep they must eat lubeburgers...
“so, if this continues, there will be robots making hamburgers for other robots.”
I see people in fast food restaurants with EBT cards. Most have a sign saying they take them. So, no jobs, but plenty of welfare. That makes government happy.
TV was the perfect medium for that particular message. Not than I'm a Luddite, it's just that "Luddite Thinking" drives people to eliminate the "middle man".
“But robots don’t spend any money either...”
But the people that design and build and repair robots do.
