They just rebuilt one of the McDonald's in one of the busiest and tourist packed areas in my city. I drove past it from work the other day; nothing but self ordering kiosk machines inside. They're still not finished with it though.
 
Consumers should boycott these places. Make them reconsider.

Cause today its burger shot, tomorrow its your job.

Ppl don't see it that way tho.
 
Yea....

It's inevitable....

And unfortunately it will put a strain on resource allocation & cause increased class inequalities.....

Gonna suck ass to be on the right side of this spectrum....

But it probably does already.....

We have been talking about it since last year.

Dont wait till become the new age victim of robotisation. Learn computer programming, cybersecurity, anyway ADAPT.

We have been warned and warned again. ITS HAPPENING!!!
 
Let's pretend now that any innovation in food and retail productivity only exists because people want more pay.

As if technological advancement would stop otherwise. Why are some of yall niggas so worried about making sure people don't get high pay? Fuck that got to do with you?
 
I'm not stepping a foot into a place that's selling 400 burgers in an hour. I don't care if it's human or robot made. Sounds like a madhouse. I like a more calm dining experience.
 
Man gtfoh with this bullshit! Them niggas bout to be pouring them soybean ass burgers in there claiming their cooking them. 20 patties for 6 dollars ass burgers. Anyway, I'm tired of people acting like this new robot shit is only going to affect the minimum wage workers. These niggas are making SELF DRIVING CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD RIGHT NOW! I bet robot Uber is coming soon. Niggas got robots doing all kinds of shit. We're going to have robots performing surgeries in a few years. Lol at thinking that machines are going to be limited to making fast food and shit. Nigga drones about to be out here dropping off packages to your house and you're laughing at fast food workers.. Ok, we all bout to be in the bar like that Outkast interlude

A robot take over of the labor force involves too many ifs from what I see to predict accurately right now.

If a significant number of people are unable to work cause of robots seems the economy would take a hit cause people can't spend money to buy the goods robots make. How would that work out? Maybe a reduce cost in living across the board?

Then there's the human element of how the public will accept it. If folks are crying about mexicans taking the jobs they ain't gonna like it when robots do it either. This could back fire on businesses implementing robots.

I doubt many businesses smaller than corporations can even afford such robotics for it to threaten their human labor. Not in this lifetime at the least. A kiosk at McDs ain't shit, but a CNC or a Shear Cutter is big shit. That half a million shit that can break putting production two months behind. Ain't too many small businesses can take that kinda loss. So how they gonna adapt to that?

I think mechanical, computer, engineer type trades will keep becoming more popular. Fabrication as well. Schools, city officials, and educational programs often network together with surrounding job demands. The hoops to go through for those jobs may increase, they have been over the years already. But the minimum wage worker might have even greater access to getting that education.

Unless the government's end game is to reshape society into some futuristic dystopia like we see in sci-fi movies, I doubt it's going to be as bad as people claim. The country should adjust, but... I've been wrong about America before.

Lol McDonalds' 12 frozen patties are done cooking in 30 seconds. You're Big Mac takes 45 seconds to be served. That 17 yr old, in the kitchen, just slow AF.

The only thing making sure niggas dont get high pay is a niggas skill-set.....

Or lack thereof......

The problem is some people on this site beside me are actually entrepreneurs starting out with small buisness, forcing 15 and hour stifles any small buisness or mom and pops shop, in essence only allowing corporations to operate.

It's a bad idea for everyone.
 
Wow, some of y'all sound insane. You cant stop evolution

Im sure there was a nigga out there working at a library sayin 'man u heard about that there "internet" , dey stealing all da jobs! "
