Touché
Used to be that an entry level fast food job could pave the way to many more opportunities. Six months to a year of customer service and handling cash opened the door to positions at banks and much more. Now all that experience will not be available. The customers will be served by a kiosk that never calls in sick. I’ve read that McDonald’s is trying out burger machines that can crank out 100’s of burgers per hour. The minimum wage proponents make me ill.
that pesky middle class wanted too much anyway....good universities for their children, and occasional nice meal out, roaming the national parks.....all of this is annoying to the elites...
So you will now see the explosion of self-order kiosks at every fast food place as that industry reduces it labor force by at least a third
Helping to “Keep Austin Weird”.
Good point but slight correction: it will cost the taxpayers.
