    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…
