McDonald’s to test run AI-powered drive-thru windows that don’t need employees to take orders
“... McDonald’s began considering introducing a lot more automation in its stores around 2016 after employees began demanding that the minimum hourly wage be increased to $15. This is when then-CEO Ed Rensi noted that it would be cheaper for McDonald’s to use robots than people.
“It’s cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who’s inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries,” he said. “If you can’t get people for a reasonable minimum wage, you’re going to get machines to do the work.”...”
And so the workforce will continued to be bailed out with handouts from Big Brother... time to stop producing and let the system crumble.

Ai at McDonalds certainly fits well with the so called food they serve.
Yes, I get it, a business has to respond differently in today's dystopian world...so much for equal outcome.
Meanwhile govt rabidly shouts “The Solution Is Higher Wages”.
Somebody please turn on the lights when the movie is over...
