As a non American: What are these people doing? Only time I've seen fast food personal outside around here is to empty the bins and pick up trash from the parking lot. Otherwise they are inside.
Taking drive through orders
WTF, really? People around here order using a touchscreen, same as the kiosks inside. If you want you can press a button and talk to someone inside to ask a question. But the UI on the kiosks is pretty good, ordering is easy and it includes all the info you could ever want. I've never had a reason to press the assistance button, but I like it's there.
Sending actual people to stand in the rain for such a simple task seems very weird to me.
Robots are more expensive than human labor I guess...
For now...
Also having a human stand outside in the rain for your enjoyment gives you that great feeling that you are superior to them, in terms of deciding which parents you wanted to be born to:-).
C'mon, you are laughing b/c you know it's true? Or else you are crying b/c you are an empathetic liberal:-(, which only makes the other side laugh all the harder! (now at you) :-P
It even says directly in the Bible: "the worker deserves their wages", oh no wait not that one, um... "treat the poor and oppressed among you as one of your own", no wait not that one either, how about "whatsoever you do to the least of these, therefore you also do unto me", ah... well anyway I'm sure it's there somewhere!
