We don’t want to sound like chicken little but the sky is falling uhhh… jobs are disappearing much faster than most of the sheep notice. Factory workers are extinct because of robots. Uber drivers are being replaced by autonomous vehicles …& drive-thru windows are being replaced by high-tech vending machines. A McDonald’s in Boston is the latest to unveil a “Big Mac ATM” that will enable customers to be served without coming face-to-face with any human workers.
The ATM was installed as a one-day-only stunt to promote the chain’s new mini- and maxi-sized Big Macs and users won’t even have to pay, but they will have to provide their Twitter name so the machine can send a promo tweet from their account.
Yes- with a side order of where the HELL are all these unskilled workers supposed to find employment?
Much like a regular ATM, the Big Mac ATM doesn’t actually make the product it dispenses: “The burgers are cooked on-site at [a nearby] McDonald’s and then immediately loaded into the heated machine, which is refilled on an ongoing basis to ensure fresh quality,” local owner-operator Vincent Spadea explains.
Automated ordering isn’t new for McDonald’s: The chain introduced touch-screen ordering kiosks back in 2015, though diners still have to pick their food up from an actual person.
There are already cupcake ATMs and pizza ATMs, though neither of these actually cook inside the machine — they simply dispense food that’s been pre-prepared by human hands. While McDonald’s is positioning the Big Mac ATM as a marketing stunt rather than a harbinger of human-free restaurants to come — “McDonald’s does not have any further plans with the technology,” Spadea says — it doesn’t take a big leap in logic to see how this kind of technology could eliminate the need for cashiers at quick-service restaurants.
…for consuming our death burgers, for which we now don’t even have to pay actual living wages to living people!
That’s already the case at San Francisco restaurant Eatsa, a nouveau automat chain where customers are required to have exactly zero human contact to order (& begin consuming) their quinoa bowls: After ordering via tablet or mobile app, human kitchen staff, who are hidden safely out of sight, prepare the food and place it in electronic cubbies where diners can then pick it up.
But- but you’re the LABOR secretary?!
Controversial labor secretary nominee/CEO of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s Andy “Putz” Puzder has also famously expressed his love for robot workers. The future is here. And it looks like entrepreneurship or unemployment. King or slave.
