Say hello to a 17 dollar combo meal

The big winners will be the robots.

Say hello to a 17 dollar combo meal?

It’s THAT NOW!.....................
😒

[ScottinVA]

Yeah, just keep pushing prices yet higher... what could possibly go wrong?

[Red Badger]

The big winners will be the robot’s MANUFACTURERS......

[EQAndyBuzz]

I’m betting many fast food restaurant owners are going to either retire or sell their franchises.

This will not end well.

[fwdude]

So, there are no entry-level jobs anymore. Got it.

Fast food joints set to leave California in 3...2...1...

[Pollard]

Fast food deserts soon to come and it ain’t the rich people that eat there. Probably the plan. Get rid of all those ugly chain stores and fast food joints and all the poor people traffic they cause on the roads.

[Truth29]

more food deserts coming.

It really is the only solution for fast food. And imagine the upside, you actually will get what you ordered the first time.

Years ago, like in the early 70’s, I remember seeing a cartoon in some magazine, I forget which one, that showed a factory assembly line making robots.

There was ONE human and several robot workers on the line and ONE robot reaching out about to tap the human worker on the shoulder......................

Sounds very much like communism - government boards telling businesses how they must run their companies.

[Red Badger]

And instead of spit, it will be coated in silicone oil...............

And if these fast food chains had any real sense of doing the right thing, they would immediately STOP accepting EBT cards today.

Wow. I’m watching an episode of “Emergency.” They had a man down that they described as “extremely obese.” “He must weigh 300 pounds.”

[Leaning Right]

Bingo. And it’s a crying shame. Fast food places provide work for young people going to college, or whatever. And they provide work for folks who unfortunately cannot do anything else.

This bill will wipe that all that away.

Robot maintenance is going to be a great future job—no university indoctrination required.

In n Out is reliable on orders, and they are huge in California. Chick Fil-A is good on orders, too. Burger King is the worst. Popeye’s is extra slow.

How stupid can they be? So these Burger flippers will be making the same per hour as some people who have been with a company doing work (where you actually have to think and problem solve) for decades. Those people won’t be able to afford to eat at fast food places because the teenagers preparing their cheeseburgers and fries need more pay to find their expensive college degrees. Or something.
