Maybe that’s the “agenda” of the powers-that-be
When will the Marxists move to outlaw robots in he food industry?
Support for minimum wage is proof of less than minimum IQ.
Impossible.
Dumba$$ libs can take responsibility for this. I will gladly deal with a robot over the worthless work ethic of so many young workers at fast food places.
They can’t control someone who’s broken no laws so they make enough things illegal that living itself becomes a crime. And they can’t control someone who’s employed and not dependent on them so they make it near impossible for young people to find their way into productive work, putting them on the government teat as early as they can. Mustn’t let them feel the self respect that comes with independence. It is most definitely a plan.
$15/hour at 11 hours a day (11am to 10pm) on the fry station is $165 per day. At 365 days, that is $60,225 in wages alone (not counting other expenses) just to have someone on fries at every McDonalds.
There are around 1,100 McDonalds in California, so if they instituted a $15 minimum wage, manning the fry station for all of their lunch and dinner service would run around $66,247,500 in wages.
1,100 robotic arms would be $38,500,000. Even if you had to spend money to maintain them and replace the occasional piece of equipment, it is still a huge savings to go the robotic route.
And that is just in the first year...
The goal of communist politicians is to destroy the economy across all sectors. They want a very tiny elite (including themselves) to rule over the smoldering ruins of a once great country. They will sacrifice millions of people to live in a pathetic gated community for a few years until the next revolution overthrows them. Don’t try to understand such thinking, no sane person really understands, but it is a pattern that is repeated over and over.
Of course the libtards will go all bubbly over the evil corporations.
I knew Ed back when I was in college (I was friends with his daughter). Interesting guy. Came out of the mountains in West Virginia, started out working the grill in a McD’s. They sent him to college, and he worked his way up to CEO. He knows what he’s talking about.
The only solution is to nationalize McDonald’s!/s
Atlas Shrugged.
more lost jobs = more Democrat voters. Is it all starting to make sense?
and it’s going to cause a job loss across this country like you’re not going to believe,” Rensi added....
Well you would think.
But lets use San Fransiconista as an example.
City passes 15 an hour minimum.
McDonald that employs 20 lays off 10 and brings in 4 robots.
San Fransiconista passes law that states no business that has less then 100 employees can use robot as employees within the city .
Face it businesses you and us the consumer are going to get screwed one way or the other.
Robots can’t claim sexual harassment either (I hope) :-).or racism,or ageism,or go home sick.
No downside for the employer.

That could very well become a reality if politicians are held to the promises they make to get themselves elected.
Went to a new frozen yogurt store which just opened in our neighborhood. Had a coupon for $5 off a sundae which I needed to use before this weekend.
You enter, pick up whatever size cup you need, place your cup in what looks like a tray with a hole in the center, fill your cup from a machine, the tray serves as a scale which weighs your cup, a voice tells you the cost of your choice, asks you if you want toppings and if you answer yes, a whole bunch of buttons with lights behind them appears. Push a button and the topping is magically placed on the yogurt. Then the voice asked if we wanted another topping and there is a button that appears with “yes” or “no” on it. If you push no, a voice asks if you have a coupon. If you push yes, a slot opens up and you can feed your coupon in. Then there is another slot for your credit card. The receipt and card popped out in just a few seconds. At this point the voice told us to pick up our cup, reminded not to forget a spoon, thanked us, says please come back and tell your friends and you leave.
I’m sure someone was working behind the scenes and available in case something went wrong and to fill the machines. Once we figured everything out it was great. Product was wonderful and they had lots of choices. We will go back.
Neighbor said there was a ton of people going in and out earlier in the week, maybe some from the novelty.

There have been people posting in various places that robots will replace working people like crazy in less than 5-6 years.
One poster from a 3-letter company spoke of a large portion of the workforce being replaced.
