Robots
Will
Replace You!

But does a robot know to put a cockroach or a human finger or a snakehead into random bags of fries?

This gives fast food companies more of an excuse to use robots. This was planned years ago. They hate to pay even minimum wage.

Minimum wages workers are screwed...and then all other types of workers are.
AI is taking over for Doctors. I'm sure AI can replace lawyers, stock brokers, real estate brokers, etc

Robots don’t think as fast as the human mind but this might be the exception at White Castle.
They can probably get orders right. Whenever you go to those fast food places, they need a third window at the drive thru to get all the shit they forgot to give you.

Newsflash!
If robots were financially viable and capable of doing the jobs of fast food workers then there would be no (zero) fast food workers whatsoever.
But they aren't financially viable or capable.
End of story.

They will break down as often as the shake machine.

R6, give it time. Each robot at White Castle does the job of 3-4 people and faster. White Castle will do the math.
McDonald's did the math and now doesn't have cashiers.

R6 - This is totally correct. This entire robot-in-the-kitchen thing is not financially feasible. You could hire an entire restaurant full of assistant managers for what the couple of service techs will want (and get) for pay.

I don't see robots taking over fancier restaurants but I can see them at fast food places, because of the huge corporation behind them.

As wages and demand for benefits, like health insurance and education expenses, rise, robots will become more attractive

But I won't be able to watch the robots at White Castle burn their fingers through the thin plastic gloves as the little onion bits from the grill stick to them!

I say go for it. At least I wouldn't have to worry about someone touching or spitting in my food.

R11 - The companies that have techs like that typically charge just short of $500 an hour, sometimes in excess of $1,000 an hour if it's overnight on a weekend. The techs themselves will be making $80k to six digits a year. I remember once when my brother literally put a plug back into a wall outlet (that had been accidentally pulled out), and the bill was just short of $1,500.

That’s not necessarily true. We have to introduce them to it. Once they login, they’ll never log out.

What McDonald’s do you go to that doesn’t have cashiers?

R23, it depends on the supplier bags of cockroaches and severed fingers.

Most of the McDonalds I’ve been to in the US and Europe now have screens that you order on and pay, and one person at the counter who gives you your bags of food

R23, I love drive through.
