This could be the start of a new era of working with robots cooking and serving food. Who knows, maybe your job is next!
Here Is What The Manager Had To Say…
“These things are great! They get their work done in a fast and orderly manner, plus they don’t ask for cigarette breaks.”
37-year-old Paul Horner, a spokesman for McDonald’s told reporters that because of the demand for a $15/hr minimum wage, the company has been playing with the idea of a restaurant run entirely by robots for years and believes their “McRobots” are the answer.
“With the high demand for a wage of $15/hr and theprotests getting worse every day, this is something we had to implement. Plus with the tremendous margin of human error, poor hygiene, lack of education, laziness, as well as the recent advancements in artificial intelligence it just make sense to automate our restaurants now rather than later.”
Local Phoenix resident, 52-year-old Tom Downey, who has been unemployed for the last 3 years, was excited about the opening of a nearby McDonald’s until he heard about the robots.
“Now that they hire only robots, I don’t know what I can even do. I don’t have an education, a car, and now I’m not gonna even be able to get a burger job.”
Shareholders can finally expect to see their stocks on the rise once again since employee salaries are not only cut, but eliminated. By cutting employees, McDonald’s says it is projecting to make a full financial turnaround and see their stock return to $105/share which was originally set back in 2014.
“Robots are the future of McDonald’s in the United States and around the world,” Horner said, “Human workers want more pay and this has created giant protests which need our attention now before it is too late. Robots will decrease prices, increase productivity and make for better food.
The new robot McDonald’s is located at 7th St & McDowell Rd in downtown Phoenix.
We Want To See This!
This new McDonald's run by robots is sure to shake things up and change fast food as we know it. Would you ever go here just for the experience?

$15/hr finally broke the camel’s back. Enjoy your new unemployment people! The very idea of a minimum wage is idiotic since your pay should be equal to your skill level. An artificial minimum shuts out many people who could be working and learning useful skills so they can move on to better things over time.
Wow know where I am not eating anymore.if enough people don’t go there it will be like when the grocery stores took out the self checkout here.
Notice they don’t say how much these “robots” Cost per robot and how much upkeep they will cost.This is because it will actually cost them more to have them than human employees.
Remember mechanical repairmen, skilled labor, is far more expensive than the raise to $15 an hour will be.
No benefit’s no sick time will make up the difference. Our vet’s don’t make $15.00/ hr.
McDonald’s offer almost no benefits. No sick time,no vacation.
The robots are a one time cost. The maintenance is minimal. Realize this.
Considering employers have to pay both social security tax and healthcare on top of the $15 and hour, Mcdonalds will save money in the long run.
NOT! Look at the auto mfg using robots to do their welding… It is the only defense that mfg has against labor, Especially union labor (well except for leaving the country). A product is only worth what the market will stand… $15 will make MacDonald’s non competitive with their rivals. What choice do they have… People holding picket signs thinking that they are so important showing the evil corps a thing or two ‘don’t get it’… That is why they have the crappy job to begin with… Wake up! If the employees were as productive as they were 40 years ago, we wouldn’t have to waiting in the drive thru for 15 minutes like we do now… WORK HARDER AND EARN THE RAISE.
I completely agree with you Oiltech.. The libtards forcing the increase of the minimum wage only put more people and companies out of woke than it actually helped and it caused the price of what we pay for products to go up.. That is what causes inflation..
Dude, you’re a fucking moron. If we had it your way we’d keep going until 1% own 99% of everything and 99% of the world has the remaining 1%, at which point they’d rise up and murder you (I’m guessing you’re one of these cunts), leaving us with a madmax vision of the world. Totally agree middle of the road liberal policies are a farce, but we need to get rid of this insideous neoliberal agenda permeating the western world, insisting on a free market economy as the solution to all our problems becuase it won’t end well for anyone. Having a winners and loosers attitude is backwards and what you’d expect from a baby nation that hasn’t learnt their lesson from history because it’s still too busy masterbating to the smell of it’s own farts.
This is actually how I pay my employees….High school kids, first job, at home with mom n dad, only bill is cell phone…minimum wage. previous experience but still in school and with mom n dad…min +.25 and so on.
If this is your first job, you have no experience, limited availability, don’t expect to get paid what more experienced people do, because it’s not gonna happen.
“…is **RUN** entirely by robots”!!! Please, PLEASE, PLEASE learn proper English grammar.
Maybe when robots write online articles we can be assured the spelling and grammar will be correct. 😀
Thank you for correcting. What an illiterate populous we have.
When I heard about this last year, I was reminded of the day the guy set up an unattended gas pump on a corner lot in NC and everybody said “self service” would never last. OMG, they were wrong big time. LOL
I don’t know about that most of the grocery stores here took out the self checkout stations and hired more cashiers.
And I’m going to call bullshit on your claim. They’re all over the place where I live. You can’t demand more than your job is actually worth. You’re not paid for existing. You’re paid for doing a job and if more people can do that job, then it’s not worth more than minimum wage until YOU prove it on the job. That’s just life.
Really? I am seeing more and more of these and they are very handy!
Love it. Robots don’t handle my burger after they’ve gone to the restroom without washing their hands either. Many of these $15-an-hour workers are nasty little creatures.
Oh great! Now there will be more unemployed people!
They demanded it and everyone jumped on board cause we all know ya can’t live on $8 an hour.
Your comment..they want people to be blind about the truths,mc Donalds are dirty and cannibalism.Workers here have the ability to react while robots remains silence to their secret agenda.
Please get a job sophie
Minimum wage wasn’t meant to live off of anyway, so stop trying to adjust it! Stay in school it’s your fault if you only make that much in the first place, and then demand more money lime the world owes you s**t! So happy about the new McRobots, they can’t scratch their balls and touch my food! All of this coming from a whole generation of people who have no concept of economics and want everything socialist!
not only will this add to the unemployment. its adding to the poverty level. we think we have homeless and starving people now, just wait. the world we cease to exist as we know it if we continue to let technology over run us. whoever idea this was to invent robots for businesses has seriously screwed up. people need jobs and money to survive. thanks for making this impossible. all these people that are or will eventually be without homes and food, this is on your hands now!!!
Everybody has the opportunity to go to school for higher education. My daughter has school loans to prove it. They don’t need to be stuck at McDonalds.
This is not true.
Take that, minimum wage.
Hahahahahaha this is way too funny ok in Japan there was 5 restaurants with robots 3 went bust 2 sacked the robots as the cost of maintenance and lack of customers after the novelty wore off far out·weighed the use of people all so the lack of human interaction was another factor. Go find a person who works in robotics for less the $15 per hour to do all the repairs, all so in Australia Mc Donalds workers get paid more then $15 per hour and the company makes a profit there. I believe the price of a big mac is around 10c more compared to the US.
Check your facts before posting this stuff

But the robots make 15 bucks an hour minimum
FALSE RUMOR!
Fake but hilarious. Check the source article, which says, “If you have any further questions about the robot-run establishment, McDonanld’s has setup a 24-hour robot hotline at (785) 273-0325.”
That’s the phone number for the Westboro Baptist Church.
They had to know.that no one is going to pay you $15 an hour when.most people with college educations dont make that.welcome to your replacements
Nice to know no one will get hurt when someone decides to burn the place down.
Would love to see some of you conservative Trump supporters work for less than a living wage. Not everyone has the option of pulling down a $40,000/year desk job. They have to make ends meet somehow. And if a $15/hr job will help that, then so be it. Who you gonna complain to when that robot messes up your order and you can’t find a human being to complain to? Corporate sheep!
Jeez people are s0 gullible… http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/robotmcdonalds.asp
I just posted this…lol, https://mylocalmcds.com/7th-st-mcdowell-rd-mcdonalds/employment/job/449195
some people are just more eager than others, to instantly believe things like this.
The writer of this article needs to use a dictionary. It’s not RAN by robots; Its RUN by robots
I will never eat at a place like this
What everyone seems to forget is that in theory raising the minimum wage sounds great, but then businesses raise their prices to cover the extra expense of the additional wages.
Someone making $10/hr just got a 50% raise and will probably waste the extra income just like when people get large tax refunds and don’t know how to save money. Go buy a new car they still can’t afford, etc.
What about the people already making $15/h or more who now in effect lost money because prices went up and they didn’t get a raise?
Some of the ones who want the raise are my children’s generation that think they’re entitled to make high wages because they’re to good to make minimum wage. When I started working minimum wage was less than $2/hr but you didn’t expect to be making $100k right out of high school back then like kids today think they should!!!
I bet the robots won’t screw up your order either.
this is my take a fast food job is not a career, and was never intended to be one for other than manager on up. it was and is a part time job to help pay for college or pocket money for high school kids. no employer is going to pay more than a reasonable wage for the work performed. and i`m sorry flipping burgers or running a fryer or pushing register buttons. is not 15.00 dollar an hour work. laying brick , working construction, doing semi skilled work, working in an office, ect all are but fast food is not. if you need 15.00 dollars an hour then get a job that pays that. or be replaced by automation that does not need benefits , does not file law suites, does not call off and never asks for a raise.at a certin point the cost of labor forces a business to automate to stay in business and becomes cheaper.
Looks like the robots didn’t work out after all, since they’re hiring people at that location, lol.

It is all well and good to replace humans with technology – but when that technology has a hissy fit (breaks down), it is a very costly fix. Very impersonal – many people go to places to be served by a friendly face – someone they can identify with. Once the novelty of robots is over, we’ll see what happens to the Mcdonald shares……
