WTF is up with these people? 15 Dollars minimum wage is too much, we will replace you.

I would have thrown his rear end in jail. Out of spite.

Yeah the extra-lovely thing is that they obviously would have installed these things regardless of minimum wage, because 1: the computer works for free which is less than any minimum wage and 2: they're more efficient and customers generally prefer them.

So the employees were going to get hosed no matter what, but now the assholes can create a narrative of "well it's really their own fault for demanding enough money to live on without using food stamps."

I hate those things. What the gently caress, Mcdonalds?




These things are great. You can focus on the part of the menu you are interested in like just burgers, just sides, just drinks, etc. The print is big enough and close enough that you don't need to squint even as your eyes fail with middle age myopia. And you can stare at it for as long as you want without the pressure of anyone waiting for you to make up your mind. They are fantastic.

Apparently the CEO did it out of spite, but they are the best change to Mcdonalds in years. https://www.forbes.com/sites/realsp...e/#72fc3a1a4fbc

I love these. The Maccers near me even has a setting to let it know which side of the place you're sitting in, and they bring the filth right to your table.

There's a place in Japan that uses repurposed industrial robot arms to cook ramen. In Kansas City there's a restaurant that delivers food to the tables though a system of little trains. The Sketchers North American distribution plant uses robots to load and unload trucks, so you wouldn't need humans to receive shipments of food or even to restock. The only barrier to a fully autonomous restaurant is cost; the arms at the ramen place are $100k each and the place was set up as a publicity stunt by the company that makes them, and the distribution plant was made to ridiculously exact standards at a cost of $250 million so all the machinery will work. Once this stuff gets cheaper I definitely expect to see a few robo restaurants.

I bet even at a robo-restaurant they'll tack on a 15% gratuity.

Wealth is not absolute, it's relative. And the biggest ratio you can get with rich:poor is to have it anything:zero. That is the capitalism end game.
