And the bright side of that is that your order won't get fucked up by the person communicating with you via 1950's technology at the drive-thru speaker.
Thanks "liberal" politicians for making this a reality that will come true very soon. I'm sure that all the un-skilled labor that were making $7.50 an hour will appreciate your "good intentions" once they have no jobs.
Now that you are demanding they get DOUBLE that for a job a monkey could do...they will now get ZERO dollars and will be un-employed.  |
That day is almost here ........
A company called Momentum Machines has built a robot that could radically change the fast-food industry and have some line cooks looking for new jobs.
The company's robot can "slice toppings like tomatoes and pickles immediately before it places the slice onto your burger, giving you the freshest burger possible." The robot is "more consistent, more sanitary, and can produce ~360 hamburgers per hour." That's one burger every 10 seconds.
The next generation of the device will offer "custom meat grinds for every single customer. Want a patty with 1/3 pork and 2/3 bison ground to order? No problem."
Momentum Machines cofounder Alexandros Vardakostas told Xconomy his "device isn?t meant to make employees more efficient. It?s meant to completely obviate them." Indeed, marketing copy on the company's site reads that their automaton "does everything employees can do, except better."
