Marx was right!

They got those shits all over Vienna now, can't even order a simple coke, or ice cream or a quick burg without going through a dozen menus on the fiddly screen

FUCK I hate this

I guess they should get some better skills then.

>Low skilled people may have no jobs to fill in a few decades.
Then, become skilled at something useful.

Automation sucks. Just companies replacing the work force to save money. What will things look like when thr majority of people can't even afford these services because of not working? What skills will be good invest in to secure a place on the future job market? I was studying Networking and training for my CCENT exam but sort of fell out of it

>cheaper fast-food
oh no

This, also, I like to pay my shit with fucking REAL MONEY, not Moshe Goldstein Bank's (((debit))) card.

Panera bread has had these. They're always wide open while people wait in line. I love ordering myself and not dealing with clerks. They're useless people, they never add any value to the experience. The UI is fine too.

yes whatever american cuckitalism will solve this too

The machines are much fast to order and pay at unless you're a complete retard.

And they have so many of them because they're cheap compared to a human worker, so there are almost never lines formed.

They're good. I tried one for the first time two weeks ago while traveling, and it's a lot faster and easier than dealing with the dumb teen behind the counter.
T. Too dumb to use a simple machine where you literally push the picture of the item you want and insert your money or card.

>Go to McDonald's
>Order your meal with no pickles and onions
>Get your food just as you like it.
>no faggot nigger spitting in your food

Sounds like a good idea.

im lovin it

I bet they won't go on strike.

Even though I don't go to McDonalds, I'm glad I will never have to deal with a disgusting, rude nigger again. Even though thats half the reason I never went.

>How do you feel about automation like this Sup Forums? Low skilled people may have no jobs to fill in a few decades.
It seems like McBurgers is showing the world that there is no such thing as a $15/hour minimum skill job.

>Low skilled people may have no jobs to fill in a few decades.
If only human beings were gifted with gocnitive ability that allowed them to acquire new skills...

>implying the McKikes wont just keep the earned profit for themselves

They are still out back making it

>demand ridiculous minimum wage for no skill jobs (not even low skilled...)

>here's your replacement :^)

They have an option to pay with cash to the cashier. It is still much faster method as the dumb fleshbag just collects your (((money))).

Just waiting for the bitcoin acceptance from McD to make it greatest invention since Elon Musk.

90% of sales are drive through. Allowing the person to continue making burgers instead of dealing with a face to face customer, typically the bad ones

Frankly boomers are the only reason this isn't a thing yet. Anyone 60+ would throw a fit and not want to use the touch screen.

If you go to a racing casino they've had automated wagering touchscreens for like 15 years now, yet anyone in that age bracket still waits 10 minutes in line for the 1 teller to place their bet.

In time. These are entry-level jobs training kids for the future and and we're losing them to machines. I've worked with 20ish years old working for the furst time who quit the job because their got their ass chewed for fucking up. Theyre brats who still don't know how the world works this late in life

>can't afford the services
The prices of the items will go down as a result of not having to pay employee wages... we'll probably be getting 50 cent menus in a decade instead of dollar menus if other companies follow suit.

Big electric sucks, what will water mill companies do for jobs?
Big iron sucks, what will shipmen do for jobs?
Trucking sucks, what will trainmen do for jobs?
Tunnels suck, what will ferrymen do for jobs?
Assembly line sucks, what will skilled workers do for jobs?

the only thin I dislike about them is the sheer amount of people who can order at once
with six kiosks and two drive-though lanes, overnight's a bitch
t.employee

>Thinking companies will lower their prices ever

And even so I want to make enough money to not be forced to a diet of McDonald's and die at 45

> automation sucks
no, it doesn't. it's a blessing. it liberates humans from menial work, so they can focus on higher order tasks.
> inb4 anything
note "can". you're given chances 50 years ago wouldn't even be part of anyone's dreams. if you don't use them you're shit
> sort of fell out of it
like this

HAHAHAHAHA

Without immigrants who will do these jobs?

>low skill

maybe they should git gud.

yeah, lines form instead when everyone is waiting in their fucking waiting area to see when their number is up you fucking mongoloid

if there is a problem with the order, who do you complain to ?

The free market knows best

t. conservashits

Would you rather some nigger take your order?

They'll automate your job soon so don't worry.

Trains are superior to trucks. Long distance trucking only exists because of excessive union protections and poor handling at stations.

the machines are not faster than a human at ordering.

simply because the register has faster input than the slow picture filled touchscreens.

capitalism allocates capital efficiently

It's not that simple, there's lots of people who are too stupid to learn something useful.

And yes also so very very very wrong.

My nigga. I hate biting into a pickle and having to drive back.

And yet also so very very very wrong.

They're even slower than a cashier.

Also:
>Want a simple best of big mac menu
>Go to finalize your order
>Pop-up "are you sure you don't want a Maxi best of menu?"
>Click yes
>Another pop-up "are you sure you don't want a dessert?"

NO MORE GMO
STOP EATING GMO
STOP WANKING
STOP PORN WATCHING
START LIFTING AND GROWING GROP

>implying
Prices won't go down if demand stays consistent, but if demand drops as the other user implied due to employees no longer making minimum wage at McDs being able to afford dollar menu junk or whatever, then they'd realistically have to drop prices. Either way, McDs and their customer base will be fine in the end.

...

...

Reminder: Don't eat your children.

nah, they'll always need some asshole to deal with the actual customers and fill out the paperwork
>if you're going to work in a mcdonalds for the rest of your life, might as well own three or four

>> no more 45 year old mexicans handing happy meals out the drive through window

Aw shucks

>Ask for 15 dollars an hour to flip burgers
>is shocked when they lose their job.

If the whole process became automated, I'd actually buy fast food. Not trusting some pimpled faced freak to not defile my food.

You could try doing grocery shopping at an actual grocery store, ya know? Almost anything that the average person prepares for themselves daily is cheaper than any kind of fast food. Bread, lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, and sliced meats. That's about all it takes. Nothing would force a person to live on a diet of McDonald's other than their own stupidity.

Eventually, humans will stop interacting with other humans altogether.

For now.

just getting ready for the inevitable $15 /hr minimum wage

>no taking the pickle

plebs

>> implying kids still woek at mcdonalds

I actually worked at mcdonalds in high school in like 1998. They replaced all the kids with middle aged mexicans.

What's grop?

>How do you feel about automation like this
Good.
No longer need to deal with some college student that fucks up my order.

So? Most niggers already live on welfare. Doubt it makes any difference if a couple more of them do.

>few decades.

Try one.

that's transitional
mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/local/mobile-ordering.html
most of the orders will be done in advance, and you'll only pick up

you know this is going to be the preferred way, because you pay for the phone, mcdonals saves kiosks

It depends on where you live mate. In Sweden they have dyed-blonde chicks. In the UK they have not-legally-allowed-to-work teens. In niggersville they naturally have niggers. Sounds like you live in the South West mate.

>self-service
>fast food
now that's a terrible idea

You know, government programs are the only solution here.

that's why I love in-n-out

>IF WE RAISE MINIMUM WAGE WE'LL HAVE TO REPLACE OUR WORKERS WITH ROBOTS
>ok, lets keep minimum wage as it is
>LOL WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE OUR WORKERS WITH ROBOTS ANYWAYS

>Implying talking to the nigger/turk on the counter is any faster
Maybe if you speak Suaheli.

Like I said, if you're not retarded you should be able to punch it in as fast as a teenage fastfood worker, especially when you deduct the time it takes to provide the information to the cashier orally, which isn't a factor when you use the ordering machine yourself.

Also pretty sure both the register and the ordering machines use more or less the same touch-screen techonolgy.

The sooner you can place your order the sooner they can start preparing it, the sooner you are likely to get it. Fucking idiot.

Good, maybe the poor will finally wake the fuck up and just rob and rape the middle-class.

Or they'll just do like they do with everything else. Blame themselves, get cucked, and just take their anger out on someone equally as bad off as they are. I honestly don't care at this point. Americans are only varying degrees of dumb and evil. But a sane man would say the more automation that comes, the more crime comes with it as well as should. People need jobs to buy shit, if you can't guarantee a job than noone has to buy shit and should just take it.

Why would they deserve any money then?
You're not a socialist, are you?

Now you understand that McDonalds never made such a threat.

Good we need to replace those 10.50$/hr beaners.

We have these since like a year or two.

I like it.

t. systems engineer

Robots are cheaper than workers at any minimum wage desu. All you pay for is the upfront cost of creating the idea and building them, and from there it's just costs on manufacturing, maintenance, and the electric bill. It's like expecting someone to pay you $7 an hour with benefits to stir coffee when they could pay for a $50 coffee machine and call it a day. Humans can't compete when it comes to simple labor. You either need to get an education, or capitalize on fine skilled labor a machine can't replicate, like cutting hair or specialized welding.

Aww look at the little Marxist thinking he knows shit about the world. So cute! You grow out of your idealism when reality strikes ,or your soros money runs out.

Longhaul, yeah, but trucks mostly killed local freight. Which is the biggest part, in terms of labor.
Also, train technology has improved as well, to the point where they can get by with maybe 3 people on a freight train.

Anybody that would even consider eating McDonald's should be killed.

as a supporter of capitalism in a comfy high skilled job with zero (0) chance of automation, i feel very positive about this

Can't wait for them to fail because dindus

How do you fuck up an order at Mcdonalds?

> Berkeley liberals: the gift that keeps on giving

BUT THE BABBY BOOMERS ON Sup Forums AND REDDIT TOLD ME THIS WOULD ONLY HAPPEN IF THE MINIMUM WAGE WAS INCREASED

HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING?

You think these wouldn't have happened if a bunch of 20 year olds weren't even just wanting a higher minimum wage?

I wonder when they're going to put these in Disney to replace all the people in retail?

Make it Mickey Mouse themed while you scan your shirts?

>McDick replacing people with bots

Guess that's their answer to 15$/hour wage

I see them at wal-mart. Dumb nigger management relies solely on them. God forbid the grid should go down. Even the cash register is completely electronic. They wouldn't even be able to get the cash out if an emp attack happened.

And I told them flat out too if that happens I'm looting their store. Fuck them.

Think about it. Would you rather have a clean, efficient machine flipping your burger, or a filthy disgusting crack smoking nigger?

Good. Don't want niggers handling my food anyway.

Everyday we're getting closer and closer to robot slave utopia. Right now we're in the awkward transition phase where millions will be unemployed and die from starvation. After all the weak and poor die off we'll be left with a world where robots do everything for us. Goddamnit I can't wait.

Maybe it's different in Europe, but here in
>60%
our cashiers tend to not speak english as a tertiary language so the chance of your order being wrong is near 100%. If by some miracle they do get it right it's sent to the cooks who also don't speak english. By replacing the cashier with a machine you eliminate one point of failure and greatly increase your chance of getting what you ordered.
>if your order is wrong just send it back
If you do that you are guaranteeing a nigger will spit in your food. And you're lucky if that's all they do to it.

You were dumb and took the bait. Just like idiots that think coal and factories in the midwest are coming back at today's minimum wage level or higher.

SO DONT GO THERE

Hilarious. You think with the Fed's policy of 2 percent inflation per year that any of the cost savings will be passed on to you? It's official policy to fight deflation like that through bubbles and monetary easing. Then, the upperclass just skim the cream off the top, leaving everyone just as poor as ever and their share of wealth and power growing steadily greater every year.

> I'm looting the store
you don't belong in a civilized society
report yourself for removal

But guys we need to import 5 million immigrants to fill all the low skill jobs right?
