I will bet large amounts of money on the demise of the minimum wage fast-food worker. In 10 yrs the only people in the store will be the ones overseeing the robots. There will be very few of them, compared to the current workforce, and because they will actually have some skills they'll make more than minimum wage. The per-unit labor costs of a McD hamburger will be down 95%, regardless. |
I put this up there with self-driving cars. It isn't going to happen anytime soon. Sure, man a kitchen with robots and see what happens when there's a robot failure, glitch, etc. I have a hard believing the McD's is going to be staffed with robotics repair and troubleshooting staff. There may be some automated assistance, but it will still largely be a human work force.
