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
