Because our country needed more problems.

Do people want to eat at a resturant, where your meal is prepaired by a robot arm? and maybe you dont even have a guy takeing orders, but you talk into a mic like siri?

Is that really the future?
If they go that route just boycut eating there.

McDonalds be greedy :p

I know I would replace the menial jobs that humans do with robots if they demanded a wage increase like that ...

And so it begins.

This is not surprising at all. The only way to end this is from a mass strike of McDonald's employees: however, I don't think that is very likely due to the individual fear of getting punished/fired.

Well there would be less health risks if there was a robot preparing your meal compared to a human. 

I wonder if countries will eventually pass legislation to control companies from replacing people with robots.

Sometimes I go there, the people make the food like arse and the fries are sometimes cold and etc... If a Robot can make fresh food correctly with hot fries and etc, then yes, I will go there and buy it.

I have always had mixed results with fast food, some great, some terrible and if there was a way to make it consistently good, then I don't really mind. McDonalds A really shouldn't have that much of a different experience than McDonalds B but its always a coin toss that is dependent on how much they care. I am not in support of people losing jobs however but I am in support of consistency.

I understand the necessity for automated duties such as car manufacturing plants where precision and uniformity are crucial to the product, but we NEED to retain as many jobs as possible, especially at the entry level. For those of us who have made it past entry level jobs it's not as big a deal but we are setting up our children for a society where it's even harder to break past the poverty line. I refuse to admit this was inevitable, this is an extremely sad use of how we apply technology to our daily lives.

I honestly think they should.
