on the upside, the price of big macs won’t be going up.
The machine will be able to understand English and get my order correct.
Sad. All those living wage careers gone.
Yabut, when will they be replacing their menu with edible food?
If only they would put touch screen kiosks at the drive through...
Bring back the Styrofoam containers and fries cooked in beef tallow.
Exactly! There you go 0bama, your chickens are coming home...to ROOST!
This is unfortunate to see all those imported Democrat voters will now have less jobs to steal from US citizens.
It’s a good idea to me but take some gloves when ordering. Don’t like the idea of touching a machine before handling my food.
The RATS will still try and find a way to get the robots to vote!! /s
Elections have consequences
Press one for English will be replaced with
Press one for a Big mac. I like it.
Look at the self-service checkouts in operation now. Touch screen with pictures. I’ll bet McD & BK already have the templates in use on their registers to aid illiterate staff members. Child’s play to roll this out to a kiosk that accepts cash or plastic. Heck, when the McD is inside Walmart, the Walmart cashiers can already place your order for you.
Well to all the little 20 something libtards out there picketing for a $15 minimum wage this is a little economics lesson for you. When the cost of unskilled labor gets too high you can replace it with a machine. No sick days, no health insurance, no FICA, no vacation, no listening to the complaining, no theft.
They absolutely suck..Every other item it tells me to remove it, and reverses the entry..If I had a baseball bat..I'd beat it to death. I finally just left my cart, full of goods, and walked out.
WalMart seems to be trying to force people to use them...limiting the number of open cashiers...even when lines are long..
Went by Sam’s today (of course the stuff they had the last time I was there was gone with an inferior product in it’s place) and there was a machine handing out pre-packaged apple sauce samples.
It's crap. No other word for it, just "CRAP!"
It's worse than that. At a previous job I was responsible for hiring a team of workers for this new site. The director had relied on some idiot to scope out the number of employees to staff a critical call center, and went minimal to shave costs while guaranteeing 24/7 staffing. I repeatedly argued with the director that his figures were unrealistic, thinking he could staff a position for three shifts with three people. People need restroom breaks, lunch breaks, medical time off, sick time, vacations, etc. No way would the site run 24/7. I continued hiring people while arguing my points, and got fired. The next couple of people hired after me argued the same, and got fired. Finally the director was swapped out.
For this article, the cost of human cashiers is higher than $15/hour * 24 hours because you require overlap with more cashiers to cover absenteeism of all types. A machine would not require overlap at all, until it breaks - easy to swap out for that rare event.
