McDonald’s Announces Its Answer to $15 an Hour Minimum Wage – Touch-Screen Cashiers
Gateway Pundit ^ | June 15, 2015 | Jim Hoft

This is exactly what the left pushed for… Fast food chains were never meant to be a place for someone to raise a family of 6, they were to be part time positions with some full-time advancements. Mostly the fast food restaurants were for school aged kids to learn how to interact with people, with a job, to offer spending money, and to begin responsibility learning for their future.

This will require a college degree for all jobs so you know your employee has common sense already.
Before you could be patient and explain common sense.

I hope they get automated burger makers too. At least the quality will improve and the machines won’t spit in your food.

Cooleges are devoid of common sense, much more so and increasingly vacant of it.

What makes you think a college degree ensures its bearer has common sense?

Hey, it's a win-win all around because we can get expanded H1B techs to service the machines! Everyone wins!

Right?

Right?

“What makes you think a college degree ensures its bearer has common sense?”

My long-departed father (who had a Master’s Degree) used to say that college was where a guy making $5,000 a year was going to teach you how to make $10,000! Today, only the amounts are different.

I have kids, 12,14,15 y/o
that will need work experience, that will need something to put on a resume. The cash they would earn would be minimal. They already have a home, food, transportation, etc.

The idiots who pushed for $15/hr are screwing it up for them. I found them a paper route...it’ll have to do as a replacement

But the kicker is the liberals will never get the blame. The msm sure won’t do it.

I wonder when the robots start work?

How cool would it be to watch decorated robots build the burger you just ordered?!

The kids would love to see that.

I have just copyrighted the name “Robot-Burger” and the concept.

Franchises abvailable. Get in on the ground (beef) floor.

The McDs hereabout have had touch screen terminals for a long time. Touch screens don’t, however, make up for rank stupidity and its accompanying surliness.

Japan and South Korea already use those machines. One human can service several outlets.
