New McDonald's In Phoenix Run Entirely By Robots
Moochers want $15 min. wage...they now get nothing. Anyone could see this coming. Already in this article one person is saying "burn it down"
I'm curious where in Phoenix this will be built. Haven't been to McDonald's in years

“The McDonald’s had my resume, I already completed two job interviews there and they said I was scheduled to work once the new store opened but they never called,” Waddams said. “I need a job I said, and I was told by Betty in HR they have my resume on file, but they never called, and Sandra told me to talk to Bill, and then I hear of the robots instead of regular humans and that’s not what I asked for. And I need the job I told them, but there’s robots, so now I’m going to have to find another place of employment. And they were big giant robots, and I said no, no robots at McDonald’s. I could set the building on fire.”

Again the satire is indeed there, the article was written a year ago.
Here is one from the Guardian, I do not know their quality, but seems to indicate this is an ongoing issue that pops up regularly:

Robots can't make cars, either.
News Examiner is a satirical web site.
That said the kiosks are real. My company (well the one I work for) is producing the prototypes for these.
The value is not completely driven by obsoleting $15/hour moochers. There is also an increase in per transaction sales. The kiosk never forgets to ask you to Super Suze the order of if you want an apple pie.

But that's the idea. Paying someone thirty thousand dollars a year just to be a short-order cook is never economically viable. Or if it is, that tells us the dollar isn't worth beans.
"Phoenix, AZ — After seeing a decline in earnings for the first time in nine years, McDonald’s plans to do something no other store of its kind has ever done before; open a store run entirely by robots.
The store is set to open July 4th in Phoenix, Arizona ..."
Think of the new job openings for robotics technicians. I assume it's debit or credit only otherwise is one of them RoboCop?
Though not a bad idea!
I'm SOOO going to eat there, if so. Oh, yeah.
