Fast Food Automation

i think one of the better arguments for robots in fast food is increased quality. which would improve sales. most human teenage workers slap some hastily put together crap together and usually use food thats been sitting out for hours at a time b/c they dont care or are too stoned to care. robots would be a huge improvement in the quality of the food which would make me want to actually eat at a fast food place again.

A) You've never worked fast food before or like worked anywhere ever it's obvious. (Tell everyone again how the fry cook is the easiest job in the restaurant)
B) When a robot messes up my order how do they correct it? Are they capable of recognizing mistakes much less correcting them? How will they deal with unruly customers? What if someone wants a custom order not on the menu? Can a robot make it? Oddly enough it's actually fairly common to have regulars that want their meals prepped a specific way. You wouldn't know this of course because you don't have a job.
C) How will these robots work with people who have food allergens?
D) When these robots inevitably break down what are you going to tell the customers?
E) Where are you going to pull the management from to work in these locations? Or are you deluding yourself into believing it'll be fully automated and it's "just around the corner"?

Face it, you haven't thought any of this through armchair anarchist. It's just a fantasy you and Mix often soil your undies over.

The current wage is livable enough. You're not SUPPOSED to have a minimum wage job past a certain age and stage of your life, btw.

So, do you think a paperboy should be able to afford rent on a house?

No? What about a waiter? Cashier? Warehouse worker?

People pay money for SKILLS. If you have no skills, then your labor is worth approximately jack s***. Welcome to capitalism.

On topic, I think this is idiotic, though. You can't damage the low area of the economy without the mid level feeling it. If people have less money, then that is less people spending money on your products. It's a vicious cycle of self destruction.

Companies should be eligible for significant tax breaks for employing human workers, vice computerized ones. I'm all for efficiency, but moderation is always required.

You dont leave your house much I can tell. Ive yet to use an automated machine and not have it f*** up 3 times out of 10. If you think these robots will make billions of "perfect" burgers and get everything right 100% of the time you are in for a surprise.
