the robo issue is really an app issue. The question is how soon?

Mcdonald’s will soon have an I phone app that allows an order to be placed on the I phone and picked up at a dedicated drive in window. no money will change hands because the transaction will be conducted via a credit card or perhaps a Mcdonalds card.

The new Mcdonald’s already have two drive ups. Making one a dedicated purchase by ap window will not be a difficult transiton. When in the drive Q, the order number is punched in to the device and it is staged at the window for pick up

I already use Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts this way. I have phone apps with pre-loaded amounts and all they do is scan my phone to debit it. When the balance gets down to a certain amount, it reloads a small amount of money from my checking account. I almost never have to go to to ATM machine for cash anymore because coffee is about the only reason I would pay cash for anything.

Had a Mcd’s near me close due to the Obama directed minimum wage being raised to $10 per hour for federal contractors. It was on Navy property but was accessible to the general public. Workers were told that if the wage was raised, the store would be closed. So it was and they did. Luckily most employees were offered jobs at other area McD’s but they could no longer walk or ride bikes to work as the next nearest one is a few miles away.

A Wayback Burgers opened in it's place a few months ago. Most expensive burger place I've ever been to and not that good. Probably only had a third of the employees as the previous business.
