Great point...then all of the fast food joints in Cali will simply pack up and open a new store in rural areas that normally would not have one because the customer base is too low. Rednecks win again!
Better wash the hands after ordering from the kiosks and before eating the food. Then again kiosks dont have to take a dump in the restrooms either.
Gonna be a LOT more collich grajiates living in Mom & Dad’s basement...for a LOT longer.
I really like the people from whom I buy tacos or burgers everyday. I know that most of them really like their jobs and they know this $15.00 is crap. Some of them are worth $15/hr and get it but they knowingly stand next to people who never will.
“Then again kiosks dont have to take a dump in the restrooms either.”
Or, huff back into work, smelling like an ashtray, after a smoke break outside the back door.
Death to the capitalist imperialists and their running dog lackeys!
I remember when self-service gas stations first started appearing in my area. Some politicians tried to ban them on the grounds that they were unsafe.

Still is illegal in Oregon and New Jersey. Amazed that they expect their population to be less capable than other states.

While in France saw these at McDonald’s. They were very quick and efficient.
The Obama/Clintoon, Sanders voters, aka fast food workers are on strike around the country this morning for the $15/hour wage.
In the meantime, machines like this are being built and getting ready to replace the strikers.
Each fast food outlet will have Android and I Phone apps allowing customers to order their food and then pay for them with their smart phones. There will be no need for cashiers.
The store managers will hire a professional cleaning service to keep their stores clean.
The companies providing these machines will provide in store workers to keep them clean and working.
Amazon will provide pickup and delivery to your home or office, eliminating the need to even go in the food place.
You will be able to place and charge your order on your Amazon Prime Card.
Soylent Green is People!!!!
Death to capitalism?
My scenario is capitalism in its purest form.
Maximum profit, lowest input cost, and full control of the supply chain.
And don’t forget that you get to socialize and subsidize the costs, and privatize and maximize the profits!
It’s like making money for free! And burying the competition.
As a matter of fact, we have a perfect model to utilize. It’s called “General Motors”, and everything that I described above, is what they have done since at least the early 1980’s.
They are the model of the new world economy.
When I was a kid, growing up in Ventnor, N.J., on rare occasions I would need to call the operator for a number or assistance as my dad had a side business of repairing TV’s and radios. The operators were trained to be be very courteous, quick and efficient - always very professional. A few years later I was in the Coast Guard and was stationed at Governor’s Island, N.Y. for electronics school. I needed to dial the operator for a number I was trying to find (new girl friend). The difference was stunning! The operator was having a causal conversation with her colleagues that, to her, was way more interesting than the conversation she was supposed to be having with me - and forget being quick.
It’s the same idea for the fast food industry today. It’s too bad as some workers are very nice and the experience is very satisfying - but it’s becoming all too common place to have the opposite, “I’m here for my convenience, not yours.”
There is a greater reality in life that eventually takes over if you do not adjust your life to it instead of expecting it to adjust to you. The more libs try to equal outcomes and make life “fair” the worse those two things (and many others) will become for the people they are supposedly trying to help.
"Try our new Extra *BIG-ASS TACO*....now with more *MOLECULES*"
That’s not true is it? Doesn’t every one in the army make more than minimum wage?
A lot don’t make $15 an hour. And it would be wrong to pay burger flippers that much and not pay our military more than that.
Work on replacing ILLEGALS...
I believe self serve gas is still illegal in Oregon.
Use the human employees to make the menu items we can't (yet ;-) )
Beautiful.
Robotic farm machinery is the next step, robots that can apply a gentle touch and a discerning eye. No more ladders, pick 7x24.
