“do you know how easy it will be to steal from the window now?”
Automated means labor savings which means McDonald’s will soon be dropping their prices. I’d guess a Big Mac will go for a buck.
Not open yet, putting finishing touches on it. Looks funny from the outside. Little cube shaped building.
The way “people” act anymore the employees need to be protected by prison bars with no way for the crazies to get in.
I always imagine how appalled our dead relatives would be at how some people choose to behave. Their spinning graves would cause an earthquake.

For those employees potential or existing who are lobbying for a “living wage”, I think it is completely great and justifiable.
For those employees, potential or existing who recognize that a McDonalds job is a gateway to teach working skills, not a lifetime job, and they want to get their foot in the door so they can earn money while going to school, I think it sucks and should be rejected.
They had Automats in 1910. This is not a new concept but probably its time has come again.
We have a small local grocery with great owners who work very hard. Their parent company just forced them to put in self-checkouts because they keep hiring checkers who don’t even show up for their first day of work.
Great for McDonalds and people who have no taste for food. It frees labor to do something meaningful elsewhere while placating moron consumers brainwashed by obnoxious commercials. It’s a win-win.
A 21st century Horn & Hardart. Like all marketing schemes, it will have its day, and then fade into forgotten history.
By the way, eating at most fast-food joints is insane. Terrible food for the price, lousy service, and locations prone to violent people acting out, including the employees.
Go to any grocery store and get much better fast food at a better price with less danger.
Did they program the machines to spit in your food?
Minimum wage kills jobs and removes the lower steps to full employment. My first job after getting out of the Army was as a common laborer for a construction company - pay $2 an hour! I could barely survive on it so I did everything I could to become more valuable to my employer. When I quit to go to school I was making $10 an hour.
Today I would not even be considered for that common laborer’s job, somebody willing to work for less (or under the table has that job today).
The dirty little secret with minimum wage is that a lot of unions have in their contracts that they must get so much more then minimum wage so they lobby to get the minimum wage raised so their members get a raise (and there is more money to support politicians).
My opinion is irrelevant. It is the coming way of fast food, period. The higher the minimum wage the faster it will happen.
Next up, Carl’s Jr Big Ass Fries.
McD’s can do what it wants. This family and household has STOPPED going to McD. We pay cash at counter AND WE WON’T PAY 20% MORE THAN customers using their app.
Bye Bye
So, the first McD’s that fulfills an order accurately and with the correct accoutrements and even with more than 1 napkin?
I have not been in one of those places in years now.
If I wanna eat slop, I will go to a pig farm.
Lots of good small family run places to go to...at least around here.
