I remember all these promises of how quick tech bros would be able to automate minimum wage and so-called “unskilled” jobs. Now for the past 18 months every Subway sandwich shop (and the like) in my area is begging people (not robots) to work.

I wouldn’t be betting on robots just yet.

McDonalds where I am has automated and now sometimes doesn't have someone at the counter

Apparently white castle is rolling out burger flipping bots. Unclear how much they do besides flipping burgers but they're clearly investing in that future.
