Wait, was this because we raised the minimum wage to $15/hr like they were warning us? Was this because Bernie won? I guess now we can say we can go ahead and say that now is the best time to raise the minimum wage because they've got nothing left to automate!

Two thoughts:

1) This just means everybody is going to go through the drive-thru, which means that McDonalds can save money on redesigning their interiors to look like lovely Starbucks, and

2) Watch as this destroys the entire brand when an enterprising hacker or three completely blow up the systems in some graphically hilarious way.

This cannot end up any place good...but since it doesn't matter since investors will get theirs, bring it on.

Ed looked at me with tears in his eyes. "Do you remember when you could go inside a McDonalds? I remember going on dates and getting a bag of burgers and me and Bertha would then watch the playplace as we talked futures. Seeing little Eds and Berthas playing in that pastel joy palace as we ate Double Quarter Pounders. Now......I couldn't cancel my order today. I kept pressing the screen and it wouldn't recognize. They say they needed to reboot. I say we give them all the boot." His lower lip quivered. "All I want is a burger, man. A greasy, substandard burger. And all I'm getting is a touchscreen and a metal claw and a prerecorded voice that tells me to park in the overfill slot because my fries aren't done until the tech comes out. What happened to America??"

i wonder how fucken hard mcdonalds is going on automated food prep system r&d right now

I worked in the grill area for two weeks, 3-4 hour shifts I had to spend 1.5 miles walking toward, and they semi-automate the kitchen area so that all the ovens and friers have number settings with a timer and a temperature for each type of menu item meat. For example, you take nine patties out of the freezer and put them in a 3x3 grid, press a button for a metal presser to come down, wait 15 seconds, take a cup of seasoning and press a button on the handle while hovering above each patty, then get an empty meat tray and put a liner in, and put each patty in the meat tray from front to back. The nugget fries take 3 minutes, and you're off preparing orders while that's cooking.

Yeah, that's a weird one. It's been 5 years, but the last time I was in a McDonald's they had completely removed the play area and replaced it with seating that was obviously meant to make it cafelike.
