Fast-food mega company McDonald’s has big plans for the future, and it doesn’t include $15-an-hour minimum wage order-takers. The futuristic McDonald’s will replace those entry-level workers with kiosks where customers can place their own order, according to a BizPac Review article.
The first model of the new 6,500 square-foot McDonald’s will be opened this summer in Missouri, and will include many new interactive features. In Chicago, the company is already experimenting with a self-serve coffee station again eliminating the need for workers.

People should boycott this MDs. People need people and human interaction. In this world we are getting further and further from each other. This fosters this unhealthy trend. When robots start going to MDs then they can open up robotic MDs to service them.
They will probably be leased for just less than the minimum wage plus benefits.
More crappy food, robots or no.
But now it should run quite smoothly with all of the people trained to use ATMs, scan their own groceries, pick a drink from a hundred different options from one of those new drink dispensers, etc.
But will I be a ble to order a Big Mac made with quarter pounder meat and extra sauce from a robot??? I think not.
:-)
It’s called pricing yourself out of the market a mistake usually only made in professional job markets.
You usually don’t see it happen in entry level positions but Leftist politics is involved here so the usual rules are out the window.
Agreed. Leftists have rewritten the rules with their asinine policies.
Society needs to think about what we will do when a significant portion of the population simply cannot find productive work.
I fear inevitable socialism as millions of people need to be taken care of because they cannot contribute to their own well-being. I mean: we’re already there.
Personally (my personal bias for a life that I would find pleasing) if I were supplied with the equivalent of 40 acres and a mule (probably more like 5 acres today) and told to produce what food I could: grow vegetables, raise chickens, have a few goats. I could move to Nebraska and just live in the country. If I were a poor farmer, the government could boost my living standard with bags of beans and rice, boxes of cheese, and perhaps small checks.
The alternative (it seems to me) is that we crowd everyone into the inner cities of Oakland, Detroit, Newark, etc and send them checks for life while they boost their living standard with drug dealing and crime.
Overall, I think society is not going to have a wide range of options.
Survey says... Maybe...
Period.
I totally agree with any company that can go robot...
Government has caused this....and American's will suffer.
Mandatory wages...cause unemployment to go UP!!
When will you wake up?
Sure you will. It’ll be all touch screen. Custom order. Tap extra sauce, no pickles etc...
Imagine how disgustingly filthy these kiosks will be, can’t stand touchscreens in retail settings, yuck.
I'd trust a robot...more than some pimple faced kid making $15 bucks an hour...because some Government moron thought that was great..!!
Robot technicians will, probably more.
... and dream of electric sheep?
Actually, whatever they are paid they will cost whatever the government wishes. The government will demand they cost a lot so that the government can get a lot.
A turd on a bun is still a turd on a bun, no matter how you have order it!
