At least they’ll understand English.
Creates an image of doing it like a Car Wash.
To start, car gets hooked up on conveyor rail, while you get pulled thru the ordering and then delivering stations. Perhaps it could be combined... you want wax with your big mac?
the higher the minimum wage goes... the faster people will be replaced by robots.
“I have a theory about McDonald’s, that is, everything they make is all one thing, and in the back they have this big vat full of this stuff, these little molds combining, like SPLURT ‘Hamburger!’ SPLURT ‘Malt!’ SPLURT ‘Paper box!’ SPLURT ‘Here’s your change, thank you!’”
-Steve Martin
Protection against pressure to increase the minimum wage.
At least they won’t spit in your burger...................
Good, I’ll bet robots can get the orders right and not slop all over the food.
Maybe I’ll finally get my order right.
You need to go up to the blackboard and write one hundred times:
“Increasing the minimum wage will not cause business to invest in computers and robots to replace humans.”
Thanks.
Next, class, lets break out in song with the Internationale!
Good luck with the "drunken-slur to text" algorithms.
FIGHT FOR $15!!
McDonald’s response: LEARN TO CODE
Carl’s Jr. Computer: Enjoy your EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES!
Woman at Carl’s Jr.: You didn’t give me no fries, I got an empty box.
Carl’s Jr. Computer: Would you like another EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES?
Woman at Carl’s Jr.: I said I didn’t get any!
Carl’s Jr. Computer: Thank you! Your account has been charged. Your balance is zero. Please come back when you can afford to make a purchase.
Woman at Carl’s Jr.: What? Oh no, NO!
Carl’s Jr. Computer: I’m sorry you’re having trouble. I’m sorry you’re having trouble.
Woman at Carl’s Jr.: Come on! My kids are starvin’!
Carl’s Jr. Computer: This should help you calm down. Please come back when you can afford to make a purchase. Your kids are starving. Carl’s Jr. believes no child should go hungry. You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl’s Jr.
Carl’s Jr. Computer: Welcome to Carl’s Jr. Would you like to try our EXTRA BIG ASS TACO? Now with more MOLECULES!
You have the correct idea. When you say $15 an hour is the norm...it begs for automation. By 2030, I think you will be able to walk into most McDonalds and find only six employees handling what twenty employees used to do. One of the six will be a robotics repair guy...making $35 an hour.
The question left....where will Jeffery (the marginal loser who ran the fries ‘mission’) find work?
“Carl’s Jr....F You, I’m Eating!”

Who needs automation when you've got Jack taking your order?
lol—self driving car with robots taking order from another robot—what could possibly go wrong?
