More jobs gone 😡 Pure greed to boost the share price

un ehbee-ma con un esprai ...para go.

Just put there a touchscreen.

The minimum wage will hit the “right” number, just as AI, touch screens, and assembly automation prove to be the foundation for an employee-less experience at the fast food empires. And of course, the welfare roll will swell in direct relation to this roll-out. It’s fine though

Hmmm. Guess those minimum wage protesters will be out of a job soon. This is what happens when you ask for $15 per hour.

I would encourage people to go to their feed lots in Amarillo Texas. You would never touch McDonalds again. Disgusting corporate practices

They better put a person in that role
