most of those demonstrating don’t work for the restaurants, so it won’t work...
And yes, touch screens and hamburger flipping computers would do the job fine.
they forget that these are “entrance level” jobs: they train more teenagers on how to get up, come to work, work hard, stay clean, and be nice, all skills needed in the workplace. So most folks then go on and get a better job
I was just chatting with my neighbors about it...
If some guy (or gal) working for McD’s wants to make a living and get rich, they sure ain’t gonna be out walking the line.
They’d be home writing the next App that people use on their cell phones.
You know that app.
The one where you punch a couple keys on your cell fone, drive through the drive through, wave your cell phone in front of the sensor, and NFC (Near Field Communications) takes your order, deducts it from your account. No cashier involved. Next, you drive ten feet forward and a window opens up, and just like in the old Star Treks, your meal is there.
Untouched by a human. Maybe even not a single human in the store.
Of course then the ex McD employees would be at the state capital rallying and complaining that unemployment doesn’t give them enough to live on...
It’s gonna happen. It’s inevitable.
