Robots To Replace Fast Food Workers

well if the robots cause depression era conditions for the workers there wont be any need for the robots to kill them, they will just die of starvation.

I am sure an employee that costs $5 an hour is more expensive than these robots.

Lets drop the minimum wage and when machines get even more efficient, everyone can work for $1.50 an hour.

Everyone is saying that fast food is an entry level job and unskilled and it is but waiters make a ton of money off this stupid tipping system and I don't see anyone but me complaining about these guys making tons of money for a third the work the cooks are doing.

Anyway, there are NOT that many jobs anymore. Not everyone can just go out and get a higher paying job.

My kid did, her fiance did.

They talked just like you do convinced it's too hard to get work.

First he got on doing part time work. That got him a warehouse job even though he has an accounting degree. Then a company finance manager had medical problems, they moved the kid in and all of a sudden he's in a suite and tie earning a real wage. His employer is a defense contract company and the kid has a clearance. Now he has an application in to work with the CIA, they'll probably pick him up.

My daughter would be right behind him but she has had a very unfortunate medical problem, she had a stroke a year ago and she can't work now.

I see jobs all the time, I know of openings all the time.

People have to learn to target jobs and get what they want. If an employer wants you trained in something then you need to go get that training. If they want experience then you have to go get it. There is a way, there is a map, you just have to figure it out. Putting a resume on jobs.com is not enough. People need a realistic idea of what an entry level position requires and then they have to go get that.

There are many jobs out there but matching people and skills with open jobs is a different matter.
 
The more machines take the jobs of humans the more we can move toward more advanced things as a whole. Another list of jobs we were okay letting go to machines: Messengers, telephone operators/switchers, most brick and mortor stores as many shop online to avoid interaction and delays, lets not even start with the level of farm equipment compared to 100yrs ago.

My point is, this always happens and we have survived as we always do. It also won't happen in a mass exodus of all fast food jobs vanishing. I'm an electrical engineer, my job could also be automated with software, if that happens it happens and I will find something new. Stagnation is terrible for the brain. Want jobs to stay in people's hands? Shop in the cashier lane not the self checkout, go to best buy or target for that amazon purchase. I know many people that avoid self checkouts for this reason. I flipped burgers for 3 years, if that woulda been taken when I was that age by a machine, I probably would have just done something else. As said, jobs are everywhere, it takes more than a 2 minute search to find though.

It's almost as if we should look at national trends of unemployment encompassing hundreds of millions of people to get a bigger picture rather than isolated cases of one, two, or even ten people.
