Fast food workers to get a $20 minimum wage in CA
(www.cbsnews.com)
what was the mininum before?
State wide, $15.50. This will remain in affect until April 1st, 2024.
Automation, here we come!
Yep, many fast food places are already implementing AI taking orders in the drive thru, not to mention all the kiosks in the lobby. Only a matter of time until making the food is automated and all there will be is a skeleton crew of workers to make sure everything is running smooth.
This is not a bad thing. It is always a good thing when humans can be freed to do non-repetitive tasks. Or would you prefer to return to weaving your own clothes?
Where did I say it was a bad thing? Lol.

I was visiting a city for a wedding and went to a restaurant I'd never heard of to get food. Turned out to be drivethru only with an AI voice assistant order taker and holy crap was it a fight to get the AI to give me a damn second to read the menu for a place I'd never been. The food was very good though
