They got their $15/hr, but it won't matter as they'll be replaced by machines anyway. Now they get nothing. Lesson learned..

That automation will replace jobs no matter the pay rate? If automation can replace labour it will at any payrate because no person can match the cents of power and minimal maintenance costs a machine takes to run.

Here's the thing though:
If minimum wage went down, would businesses really want to go back to poorly-paid employees than machines?
And if the machines were just waiting to be profitable to invest in, weren't these jobs on the line anyway for the day the tech became affordable to any business?
I think we're all missing the point here of the $15/hr wage stuff; it just sped up the inevitable, that the self-serving kiosks were going to eventually be more profitable than hiring humans. The wage increase is a minor thing, the real problem is how robots are going to replace jobs in all fields inevitably.
>>73846250
So it's either Brave New World or 1984.
AFAIK not everyone needs to work to sustain society/mankind basic needs nowadays; but I have come to think work in itself is a basic need for mankind, what are you going to do with that much free time? jack off? it gets old.

where do you live that these aren't in your local grocery stores? all but one manned checkout lane is open. the rest are self checkout, 6 in total. one cashier mans the 6 kiosks for issues and pseudo loss prevention. 2 employees and six kiosks replaced 12 traditional checkout lanes and employees.

But that's wrong you turbo faglord.
There is a balance to be had between the cost to develop, produce, deploy, and maintain these kiosks as well as the public image that must be weighed against physical employees. And $15 minimum wage is beyond that tipping point.
The kiosks have existed and been possible for year but have not been widely used in America because the minimum wage was low enough that it was ultimately more cost effective to use brownies. Now it is not.
>eating fast food
>ever
I really couldn't give a fuck if this idea sinks or swims. If it sinks, then it's a proven shit idea and nobody gets their $15/hr minimum. If it swims, then fast food prices go up and I get another reason to not eat fast food.

I mean, if we assume elites are impulsive retarded niggers living in the now it'd make sense, but you don't become an elite if you're like that, right ?
>>73847706
So what is the tipping point? Because automated checkout systems were being installed even before this min wage shitstorm took off in the US. Machines cost cents, where people cost dollars, even with maintenance costs included. The only thing holding automated customer interactions back is the reliability of the systems. A problem that has been mostly solved recently as shown by the spread of automated checkouts.
There is a threshold where manned checkouts/customer service becomes more cost effective but that point is well below the US min wage, perhaps even below third world teir wages.

Again there is a COMMON misconception of what the Gov. should do regarding economic stability of it's citizens, or rather it's well being.
Gov. SHOULD create meaningful jobs.
Gov. SHOULD regulate the economy in order to benefit it's citizens (greater good)
Gov. MUST regulate NATURAL MONOPOLIES in order to benefit it's citizens (greater good)
Gov. CAN and SHOULD take care of it's citizens health.
Gov. CAN and SHOULD educate it's citizens correctly.
Gov. CAN and SHOULD help it's citizens to achieve individual potential and expression and "independence" (No man is an island.)
Note that I'm speaking of citizens, not inhabitants.
The problem is that if someone ever said these things it would be marked as a pinko or traitor.

>>73847434
Because they're not perfect, especially when it comes to reliability. Go into any Walmart with self-checkout. Usually, at least 1 of the machines are out of order and it costs hundreds to even send someone out to fix them.
Granted, if there was nothing but self-checkout it would probably be cost effective to replace all of the cashiers with one machine maintenance guy.

Pretty much every store I've gone to except CVS, Rite-Aid, Stater Bros, Vons, Walgreens, and small stores have self checkout.
Of course it seems like half the ones at Home Depot and some at Walmart don't take cash most of the time. Tried to buy something at Walmart but couldn't scan the sticker. The cashier had to enter it by hand too.
>>73845802
Good luck with that. It's literally lets have the government force you to hire 20 people to move the shopping carts back and forth relay race style tier. And people will see it that way.

Workers in fast food here have been paid over $15 an hour for the best part of a decade, and it's still only McDonalds and supermarkets which have kiosks, as they do worldwide - even in places with shitty 3rd world minimum wages like the US and Canada.
>>73848142
Well the tipping point will get lower as the technology improves so eventually it wont matter either way. But that's just end game capitalism for you. In the mean time we shouldn't be pushing min wage any higher than it needs to be in order to attract low skill high turnover workers looking for experience and/or some quick cash to invest in their future with.
We will eventually have to figure out what to do what automation really gets out of control though. Trump has the right idea to start though. Follow Hitlers lead and bring your nation together in strengthening it against the foreign hordes.

The thing those retards don't realize, in the time it takes to get their $15, they could go through school and get a bachelor's degree. They're going to have to wait up to 6 years to reach $15/hour, that is if they're still working there.
If they're so poor, they'd basically get free college. I wouldn't doubt they could get enough money so they don't have to work.

you're fucked already
>>73845313
Good, it'll be nice to order a meal at these places when I have to every now and then and not have to deal with these mouth breathers.
I won't use a kiosk. Why would I work for a fast food restaurant or a grocery store?
>>73854630
just imagine it
custom burgers
ALWAYS exactly the same as the last time you ordered it
no fuck ups
no inconsistency
god, i cant wait

Please for the love of god be joking. Automation in an economy is always a good thing because it means you can put the resources, in this case the workers, to some other use in an economy. This whole idea that everyone is going to be jobless and be rioting in the streets because of automation is stupid. If the economy ever hit that point we'd be in a post scarcity economy anyways where jobs would no longer be necessary because it is impossible to make our economy anymore efficient than it is. I laugh at posts like yours because many people who make these types of posts will call out Bernie Sanders for not understanding basic economics when in reality you understand even less than he does.

Why not move on from craft based wages to a system that allows people survive without jobs?
It won't be long before all the fast food chains switch. Even rotten ronnies is moving in that direction. min wage workers think they had it hard before. It's a classic "Be careful what you wish for".
>>73845667
Theres one thing that you forgot, the people that eat at fast food restaurants are retarded. When I was in school I worked at a grocery store that had self check out, thats when I lost faith in humanity. 1out of 5 people sorta new had to do it.
>>73845313
Makes me happy. I don't need Larkiesha with her foot long hair, weave, gold tooth and neck tattoos handing me my burger. Or Troy, the methed out white boy who just got of prison on drug charges.

>the tipping point will get lower as the technology improves so eventually it wont matter either way.
I am saying that point is already past us. Any job worked by a person in a first world nation becomes redundant the moment there is an automated alternative because wages are already above the point where changeover becomes attractive. The fixed cost of maintaining an automated solution is lower than even third world ultra-poor pay levels. There is no slow approach to a point of cost equity, the nature of automated solutions means the moment it is possible to replicate the activity using mechanised labour, all of those jobs are redundant, the only delay is the time to raise the high cost of initial installation.
Increasing min wage makes no difference, the motivation for changeover is already in place. If it will reduce costs the changeover will happen no matter how much it will reduce costs. The entire idea that increasing the min wage will somehow trigger a mass shift to automation is absurd.

Fun fact: the Coles machines are voiced by the lady who does all the Telstra announcements. You'll notice it next time you dial a wrong number.

To clarify, I'm saying that this is what happens with the majority of consumers. Not myself.

These two inventions when fully implemented will cause an employment crisis since most jobs are either retail or food service. What a time to be alive.

Felling Nifty for Fifty

that is annoying though. I was a cashier in high school and it's annoying to have to wait for it to detect the weight of the item before you scan something else.

The only issues at this point are making the computers easy enough for the retarded general population to use without error, and figuring out how to dispense products without dindus stealing everything.
If you've ever been to the inner city, the potential problems are very apparent. You'd have some she-boon screaming at the computer, holding up the line, and calling 911 because "they owe me a 4 piece nugget".
I've stood in line at self checkouts at supermarkets and watched people steal half of the items in their basket.
I'm guessing a lot of franchises in shitty areas will simply go under, which is a double kek. They're gonna lose their jobs and their only source of sustenance. I can't wait to see what the subject of the new protests will be.
I've always wondered where they got $15 from. Did they have any data behind it, or did it just sound like a nice round number? I'm undecided on raising the minimum wage, but $15 has always felt steep.
>>73845313
I'm worried. Not for this specific instance, but what happens when robots keep replacing more and more jobs while the population continues to grow?
Things will only get worse for them if Clinton is elected. You kids will have no future.

Tfw I meant 10 years ago was $15 an hour, casual Maccas workers get well over $20 an hour now

The Mcdonalds over here in Calgary already have them setted up already.

15-ish is where it'd be if the minimum wage was adjusted for inflation and indexed halfway to productivity.

I'd rather not be attented by a fat uppity bitch. If I want to be attented by people I don't go to a fast food restaurant.

There is nothing stopping society from going fully automated, the age of the machines is upon us. Thanks Bernouts
>>73855432
This.
It would be so much nicer to just tap in your order yourself and not have to try deciphering some cunt's broken English through a shitty speaker.
These things have been common in every maccas Australia wide for awhile now.
Pretty gud, make any custom order you want and sit down and food is brought to you. 9/10.
>>73845313
Fuck yes, maybe my orders will finally be right.

Thing is, people are forgetting that basic sympathy is one of the founding pillars of a solid economy. I think it's a bit twisted that we've adopted this survival of the fittest and every man for himself ideology when all of history, communities that help each other out tended to thrive when there wasn't anything trying to kill them.
>>73851968
Do you not realize that only worthless serfs actually eat McDonald's food, let alone treat it like an actual business? McDonald's actually created 100,000 new positions to be filled in 09' (height of the suicidal Recession's impact period), purely out of thin air. They did new hire drives like that (looking for 70k applicants! Now 3 months later we need 50k more!) for the better part of the hump between then and Occupy got started.
McDonalds is literally a stop-gap for our poorly managed welfare system, and you're taking the time and energy to take up for this chain of privatized welfare for the American structural underclass and some mickey mouse cultural imperialism, because.....fucking why?
You think money is an actual object to them? Its a financial commodity that is pegged to the hormone tampered livestock supply.
Even if it was, you care because you would suffer the loss and torment of not seeing McDonalds laying around anymore?
You must be some kind of fast food autistic whose narrow obsessive interests are about the issues at stake withfake burger meat supply chain drama, or the bickest cuckstrayan on the internet so far.
