I suspect it won’t be long until the typical fast food site has 2 employees per shift, mostly for logistics and sanitation.

There’s a HUGE difference between flipping burgers and creating a meal from raw unprocessed ingredients.

One is a purely mechanical act, the other is a creative art.

A device that can create something original and delicious from a standard grocery bag has yet to be invented.

As for bartender, would you go to a tavern or sit down formal restaurant where there is no staff other than table clearers? I actually LIKE the staff at my local, and they earn a decent living from their tips. The same goes for when I go out for a meal.
