Can't wait to see Baton Rouge when this happens. All the people booted to the Street. Replaced by a robot! Pathetic

At the time, McDonald’s claimed the system could already handle about 80 percent of the orders that come its way, filling them with about 85 percent accuracy.


That would be 150% more accurate than the human equivalent they normally employee

Hey if you are still pulling up to the window to order, how old are you?

Did you know you can just place your order via the app and they will bring it out to you curbside?

Can't wait for AI to be called racist because it doesn't understand HIP-HOP slang, or it does, and responds with, "Yo, I gots ya'll, nagger"

The federal minimum wage is still $7.25

But good luck finding anyone to work for that unless you're that weird dude that hires all of the tax cheats

The AI can handle about 85% of orders.

I bet the typical moron on a headset can handle about 50% at best.

"So let me get this right"? "You want 3 straws for 2 drinks, 6 extra packages of ketchup, extra pickles on the quarter pounder, a handful of extra napkins, a biscuit with non-meat sausage cooked on a griddle separate from the animal meat...

What people don’t realize is that McDonalds is more of a real estate company now than a restaurant. The restaurant is a small cash flow but the assets are where the money is.

Why aren't Democrat lawmakers attempting to ban automation like this? I thought they were fighting for the working man


Have you even heard them claim that in the last like 6 years anyways?

That ship has sailed because you can look up and find out that they are the party of corporations on sad sack billionaires.

No their entire thing is solely identity politics now. Nothing else will be done to help a soul.
