More choices. I can see flavored popcorn like I’ve seen in specialty stores.
I’m sure they will reduce prices according to their cost savings.
Well there goes another class of people who will not have any spending money - the poor hard working crooks.
Doesn’t this disenfranchise those incapable of operating them? Call the Attorney General!
Automate the fast food franchises and there go the entry level jobs! Duh — the SEIU and other low information idiots don’t get it.
Looks a lot more efficient than milling around in the crowd in front of the registers wondering which one of them is actually manned and where your place in line is.
Hey SEIU! Unionize this!!!
Yes, as operating costs go up, businesses have to adjust.
Like, the grocery laid off its baggers and makes you bag your own food. (And now they even charge you for the krappy elcheapo bags that break and spill all your chow on the asphalt).
And the service station is now a do-it-yourself gas hose, they make the customers serve themselves there, too.
and food purvayers have had automats for years, also vending machines galore. SO I do agree, McD’s will have mostly robotics or automat type serve=yourself stuff, soon
Yesterday I tried something new, too... a new burger joint lets you order online. this makes you enter your order so they don’t need as many orde-rtakers. And it saves you from having to wait 25 minutes on line at the pickup counter. I just walked in, she verfied what order I came for, and they handed it to me, and I was out of the place in under 30 seconds.
The store gets by with less labor expense... and I get my chow without their usual 20 minute wait.
(they were cooking my order while I was driving to pick it up)
some of these newfangled things are really quite good for the customers!
Automation is going to take a lot of bottom end jobs, especially the more they raise the minimum wage.
But automation will create better paying skilled jobs in return. Not as many jobs, but better paying skilled jobs.
The people screaming for a high minimum wage are just killing the people in those jobs.
So what will unskilled people do?
Probably do drugs, join gangs, etc.....you know what they say about idle hands.
Yeah, the NEAR future.
Who could have guessed that it would turn out to be a documentary?
***Raises Hand***

You can choose to ignore reality, but sooner or later it’ll give you a swift kick right up the wazoo!
But some people, like my wife, would HATE this.
“This is kind of an implied threat, then.”
A promise, not a threat.
Men know what part of the store the item they want is in and what color and what size. They calculate the cost plus tax before they get to the register, They know what size burger and what size fries and whether it will be a Pepsi or Mt Dew before they go inside. But women today....well..there's gonna be a line...
Reminded me of ordering Chinese delivery.
I NEVER, EVER, KNOW if they understood my order.
They never repeat it back and I’m left hoping I get what I ordered.
Thankfully, they always get it right.
Next, they will create a model that make diagnoses and crank out prescriptions.
