The rule of unintended consequences just jumped up and bit a bunch of people in the ....
This cannot be good for obamanomics. Seems fast food jobs were about the only kind of jobs the Obama/Yellen economy could produce.
If these jobs are replaced by machines, I won’t miss the attitude of so many fast food employees.
1. It won't spit on your burger
2. It'll save money by not needing latex gloves and hair nets
3. It doesn't text while working..
I think much of the food service industry was just waiting for the social push needed to make this happen.
How about:
4. I don’t have to worry about whether or not the food prepper washed their hands after they used the facilities.
Bring them in. Most of these places have been taking the fast out of fast food for many years.

They might do it for (bogus) “food safety” reasons. Or they might do it for “social justice” reasons. Whatever.
As a side story, I remember when self-service gas stations first started appearing in my area. Some politicians tried to ban them on the grounds that they were unsafe.
They are giving you a lot more than attitude with those meals served.
Translation please.
Fewer people, obviously, but they will still want $15/hour.
But will robots clean the food making machines or will no skilled workers still be in charge of that task? We all know how toxic the ice machines are.
And Obama thought ATMs were bad for employment. If he really cared he would be doing something. He doesn’t.
...
Do those work if you use gloves? No way I'm touching one of those covered with greasy, grimy fingerprints of McDonalds customers.
LOL!
Just wait until McDonalds partners up with some chicom automation firm to crank out thousands of fully automated fast food restuarants.
They’ll get the illegals to install the equipment, and the H1B imports to operate and maintain them.
And all of the other restuarants will have to follow suit if they want to survive.
Of course, with a huge block of former fast food workers now dumped on the welfare rolls, the new fast food restuarants will have to virtually give away fed subsidized happy meals to their former employees and suppliers.
Oh! Did I forget the supplier chain in this deal?
All of the farmers, processors, truckers, bankers, inspectors, and all of their infrastructure get the boot too, because NONE of you can compete against cheap foreign labor, period.
But you can be rest assured that the shareholders and funds managers will make a nice profit next quarter, and can just dump their former human baggage off on the government to take care of.
“cost US taxpayers” but not corporations. Don’t eat them.
