DO YOU REALLY THINK MCDONALDS WILL BE PAYING BURGER FLIPPERS $15 PER HOUR?

Liberal do-gooders are so funny when they attempt to control the world. Their latest media aided cause is doubling the pay of fast food workers so they can have a living wage. Fast food jobs are for teenagers and adult dullards. You can’t earn a living working as a fast food worker. It seems only liberals don’t get it. Obama and his minions can push for an increase in the minimum wage and doubling of fast food wages, but it will just result in more people joining his free shit SNAP army. You can bet that McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King and every other bottom line oriented corporation is experimenting with RoboBurgerBoy. Robots will be replacing more dullards over the coming years.

It isn’t just “Burger Flippers” that suffer with minimum wage jackass

No, they wont pay a burger flopper 15 hr.

Why?

Well, there is this.

Subsidy to Fast Food Industry. Research by the University of Illinois and UC Berkeley documents that taxpayers pay about $243 billion each year in indirect subsidies to the fast food industry because they pay wages so low that taxpayers must put up $243 billion to pay for public benefits for their workers.

And that cost of public benefits is about to increase under ObummaCare with no increase in wages.

Hate to break it to ya DeeDee, but you are absolutely wrong. I’ve worked fast food before, Mcdonalds at night and Taco Bell in the morning. I averaged 70 hours a week for about a year and a half. Listen to the voice of experience.

While “you” may be worth $15 an hour or “you” may be worth $1000 an hour, the truth is that the JOB you are doing isn’t. You want to know what ANY job is worth? Its worth the difficulty of replacing the person doing it. No more, no less. I can take any average schmuck off the street and teach him to do any of the jobs at a fast food restaurant in 15 minutes, and by the end of the week (maybe even by the end of the day) he will be a good at it as he will ever get. Thats why its known as “unskilled labor”. It takes no skill, no prior knowledge, and no appreciable amount of training to do the job competently. The area manager at my first fast food job gave me a piece of advice. He said “The less you work with your hands, and the more you work with your mind, the more money you will make.” It was nothing I didn’t already know, but it was good advice nonetheless.

Reverse Engineer Said:
“What happens when the Burger Machine jams?”

That what the manager is there for. Managers ALWAYS handle technical problems.

“Does the Burger Machine wipe down the tables and mop the floors at the end of its shift?”

Doesn’t take a whole crew to wipe down tables. See above.

“Does the Burger Machine Plunge Toilets stuffed up with Tampons?”

Again doesn’t take a whole crew for that. See above.

“Realistically, how many people would one of these machines actually replace in a Fast Food joint?”

Pretty much everyone behind the food staging area… Depending on the daily volume that can be anywhere from 2 to 6 people.

“Usually the typical one is only staffed by 4 or 5 most at one time. You need 2 on the registers, 2 in the back flipping the burgers and 1 roaming around doing cleanup.”

Way off. Generally during lunch from about 10 – 2, you’ll have 2 cashiers, 2 cooking meat, 3-4 people dressing the burgers and wrapping them, and an expediter moving the orders to the counter or drive-thru window. Then of course you have the 3 people running the drive thru – order taker, cashier and runner. Cashiers do the cleaning when they are not taking orders.

“The best this thing does is replace one of the Flippers, you still need the other one to keep the machine running. The machine also probably costs the equivalent of 10 years of salary for one of these people, and will break down long before this.”

No it replaces 1-2 flippers depending on volume, *and* 1-3 dressers. And I suppose it has not occurred to you that the order taking and cashiers can also be automated as well? Or have you missed the whole self serve cashier stations in Walmart and most grocery stores? I can see something like this replacing nearly half the crew.”

“The ONLY application would be in a HUGE Mickey Ds which has maybe 5 or more flippers working at the same time.”

Well its clearly marketed towards hi volume… or did you fail to read that part? And pretty much ALL mickey D’s are hi volume…

“This is dumb ass shit.”

Its coming whether you think so or not.
