Automation doesn’t demand $15 an hour, call in sick constantly, and you don’t have to do the diversity tango and risk getting sued because you didn’t hire the right color machine.
In addition, your order in the King’s English need not be misinterpreted by someone of Latino descent or by someone who is unable or unwilling to use the King’s English and therefore the chances of your order being COMPLETELY WRONG drop drastically with no need for corporate to spend millions on training the untrainable.
Break-even point for fast food (a la McDonalds) kitchen full automation is somewhere around $10 - in other words, the point at which the bots and maintenance thereof cost the same as a human worker does per year.
The Dems want (and in some places have gotten) a $14-15 or higher minimum wage.
Do the math.
Additionally, a bot will never spit in your shake, wank on your burger, deliberately spread disease all over your fries or give you a cold. And they’re far more consistent about cooking your food.
Or not enough of the right color machine.
Wish we had it in Memphis because I get so pissed at the natives “working” in restaurants there. Last two times I took my children out to eat I ended up using foul language in front of them because I was so pissed off at the poor service
