McDonald’s recently came out with their answer to those that want $15/hr pay. Robots. This month in Europe McDonald’s hired 7,000 touch-screen cashiers.

These fast food workers who are pushing for $15/hr really don't understand what will happen to them nor do they understand how the economy works in general.

When they bring their 8 children with 6 different fathers to get Happy Meals and it costs them $120 maybe then they'll realize the consequences

They might have to end up paying the food assemblers more money, and pay to train the managers in tech support and pay them more.

All in all, computers are never late to work and don't hit customers with half inch thick rebar,

The person manning the shake machine is the only smart one in the entire building. He realizes that if the shake machine is consistently broken, I will always be needed to fix and clean it. He's creating job security for himself.

You really think those managers will know how to work on the machines? They can't even figure out how to get the ice machine to work properly.

McD's will have tech guys that travel around in vans to fix stuff. Managers are just older versions of the retards working at the registers.

I would actually welcome this. I drive through McDonalds a couple times a week to get my kids breakfast on way to school. It is never a flawless process.
