    More propaganda to make people hate increasing minimum wage.

    Even if minimum wage never increased, they’d still try and put these robots in. These two things are unrelated!

        Robotry isn’t a word, but I think if it were it would be a way to refer to people who hated robots. Kind of like ribbitry is for people who hate frogs.

        Edit: oed and mw must have a cage match to decide this one.

      McDonald’s invested in robotics every year they didn’t increase minimum wage. Clearly they must not know shit about maintaining businesses. Automatic soda machines, burger cookers, bun warmers…

        30+ years ago McDonald’s put in the automated fry hopper machines. This has nothing to do with minimum wage.

        I’m also in favor of automating fast food, the fewer people handling my food the better. Let them hire maintenance workers instead of cooks.

          You say that as if machines don’t get dirty and still require a good amount of hygiene/cleaning to keep up

          Don’t get me wrong though because I am also in favor of automation only because I believe it will make some parts of work more bearable, minus the job displacement problem caused by our current economic model…
