McDonalds workers will soon be replaced with automation. This will hasten the automation.
Instead of cashiers, the touchscreens are cheaper. Next, a machine to put together your burger and fries.
They need to slim down the menu further, but I'm going to guess that by 2020 you will have close to fully automated McDonald's places.

Someone should introduce them to the concept of marginal cost. If a robot costs $12 an hour (all in), then a human is the correct economic choice until the human costs $12 an hour — all things being equal a robot is better.
AFTER that decision makes itself. At $15 a $12 robot becomes cheap.
