Reply to comment by the68thdimension in A McDonald’s location has opened in White Settlement, TX, that is almost entirely automated. Since it opened in December 2022, public opinion is mixed. Many are excited but many others are concerned about the impact this could have on millions of low-wage service workers. by Callitaloss

My thoughts exactly. This isn't 1965. No one is getting a job at McDonald's and buying their first car 3 weeks later, or an engagement ring, or a home. Anyone who works at McDonald's is either a kid whose parents can't afford to buy them basic necessities, or it's one of three jobs they have. Or they're a manager who has stuck it out for years, but still hates their fucking life.
