Also people are forgetting right now that Mickey D’s just isn’t as profitable anymore. Which is why they are moving toward automation.

Too much competition from high end local burger places and places with better quality food and service for comparable prices.


You have better quality places like shake shack, Whataburger, In and out, that are comparable in price and have better business models, with smaller menus where they don’t need to come up with a new “so and so burger new this month” to draw slobs into their restaurant.

THERES A REASON IN N OUT HAS A LINE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT EVERY HOUR AFTER MIDDAY all the way to midnight and their employees get paid decently and it’s usually like 15 mutherfukkers in there working at once.

facts, there’s a chick fil a That is always packed with old people, I’m sure that place would cease to exist if they replaced cashiers with Kiosk in there.
Even young people like Chick-Fil-A's service. It sets them apart

Same with any sit down restaurant. nikkas aint trying to pay $100 for a nice meal and go pick up their food from a robot

Big part of eating out... even fast food... is the dining experience. Now if I'm on the road breezing through a rest stop IDGAF. Some times you don't give a shyt about the experience. But I don't know if a robot or kiosk can really replace a good human server. It doesnt even have to be a fancy place. Waffle House, Dennys.... the servers add to it.

The real issue here are people starting families and shyt on MW jobs but that's another discussion.

This is a good point too.... I can't think of any fast food place I would pick McDonalds over

I would eat at Subways or Roy Rogers before McDonalds. Chains in general are in trouble o

I think its an opportunity for workers to develop a new set of skills. Someone has to service those kiosks, program them, perform maintenance, etc. They could focus on operations and improve customer service by having more members to cook food and fill orders, it allows more people to market new products, pass out samples, expand on events like fundraisers, back to school nights, or other things that robots can't do. These are also transferable skills that people can take to any other business, not just fast food.

Society is entirely too soft/sensitive for revolution.

At most... You'll have a select few warriors and the rest gonna be tweeting their frustations away on social media, lol

Most revolutions are led by a small few, the rest just follow whatever way the wind is blowing.

Every McDonald’s I’ve seen with one of these has hired more people to deal with the increased traffic.

For example, I use the curb pick up in instances where I would just not go to McDonald’s. Now they got people that have to walk that out

:pachaha:straight anarchy on the way. Gonna be scary in the very near future. I feel bad for the youth. Technology, greed, and a global economy are gonna wreak havoc on the middle and working class. People see the future too which is partly how Trump got in. It wasn't all race baiting. Some of that sh!t is economic. I wouldn't be surprised to see some form of American Exodus in the future for those capable of such.
Not to mention America is going to go through a debt crisis in the later half of the next decade. Social Security is going bankrupt,there will be cuts on Food Stamps,Medicare,Medicaid,cuts on welfare,educations cuts. Not to mention the student debt crisis will get worse as retail is dying so there will be fewer jobs,fewer opportunities for government benefits.
The CBO states that by 2023 interest on the debt will cost more than the government spends on the military. By 2028 interest on the debt will cost $915 billion. This is why white folks are wilding out. Their numbers are declining, their economic power is slipping away, Trump with the Republicans are creating tax cuts to increase government deficits to make things worse in the long run. States are struggling to pay their pensions. Smh shyt is going to be ugly. The 2020s-2030s are going to be a lost decade for America. Rise of automation,pension crisis,defanging of unions,America fiscal/debt crisis,rising poverty because of austerity are creating a perfect storm of a crisis this nation never experience before.

If you a small business owner especially say a mom and pops food spot and you have 8 employees, eventually you will have to cut 4 or 5 employees and change your hours to stay in budget.

these san francisco and seattle type of motherfukkers really need to cut this bullshyt out about $15/hour for min wage

how about the government put some laws in place for these rising cost in housing and cost of goods for the poor

Nah, that's dope. What do yall specialize in?

I do admin work for construction companies. I majored in Chem though. He’s a cement finisher and a carpenter. We found the contract online by chance. You should look into government contracting. People eating off that...

American society is too soft/sensitive for revolution. Africa, Central and South America, the arab world/Islamic world, and southern and eastern Europe is not.
