I'm often the only non delivery driver there.

3 small tables in the front, the rest is just a waiting lobby.

Now it's all gray, huge shelves for the DoorDashers, and hardly any seating. The only other people in there were doordashers waiting for their orders. Not a single person sitting at a table eating.

My mom used to go with her friends for lunch regularly, and they would often sit down at a burger king or whatever and the kids would play or color and the middle-class to affluent moms would just sit in a burger king and eat.

Now these places are for recovering heroin addicts only.

At best normal people might go through a drive through and have the food handed to them before they go home to look at their screens.

At worst, the poeple look at their screens, go to another screen to order for someone else to go to the restaurant for them, then only stop looking at their screens for the 10 seconds to pick the order up from the porch.

It's also weird because the admins in my office are always debating their favorite steakhouses, etc. Like they make $1,000 a week but once a month are droppig $500 on dinner?

Do you actually miss intermixing with the felons and illegal aliens “serving” you from behind the counter?

There used to be cheerful teens behind teh counter.

Now it is all illegal aliens - so people stopped going.

Those kiosks are about 5-6, so that's spot on

No wedding ring, no companions

Look of confused misery on his face

We're practically brothers

If you raise the minimum wage from $15 to $20, then this only applies if the cost of the touch screens is exactly between $15 and $20 an hour - the odds of which are extremely low.

In practice they probably cost $1,000 to manufacture- meaning even at $10 an hour they'd replace a worker in about 1 week give that they can "work" 100 hours a week.

Machines will almost inevitably replace people once they are capable of replacing people. They will not replace people where they cannot replace people (look at self-check out going away because it doesn't work - not because it became more expensive or labor became cheaper.

The min wage has almost nothing to do with it.

It tastes good for like 3 minutes after purchase

I probably do 10x more McDonalds orders than Burger King orders
