I think it would be a great world if human labour was irrelevant, than we would have more time to do creative tasks and knowledge-based work instead of living like drones for 8 hours a day. This would save the burger-flipping to dinner time when we are preparing for dinner with a loved-one instead of having it as a mind-less career. Not to mention how much cheaper everything would be if we had solar powered robots doing all this work instead of slow innefficient carbon-fuel-based humans (sweaty and smelly ones that spit in your food for that matter!).
In my belief, however, I don't think that robots will ever take away human labour jobs but will only replace them. Instead of flipping burgers we are punching numbers into a commputer screen all day, for example.
