Fast food workers, meet your replacement



If I owned a restaurant I'd go right out and buy these. No human error. No paid benefits. No sick days. No attitude. Always on time.
If they worked for $3 an hour and they could be replaced with this they would. Dont kid yourself.

The problem is now the avg min wage worker age is 29, so we the tax payer are making up the difference. Talk about socialism. Alot of these people would have been working in factories making a decent dollar but thanks to Nafta that's gone.
Also, $15 an hour isn't some oh my god wage, the problem is wages have been so flat. That's considered a good wage and it's not. I started in a factory in the 80's knowing nothing and they gave me $11 to start.
