    Automation should replace cooks, but in fast food restaurants instead of proper ones. They should free up people who work brain-dead jobs at Mcdonalds or KFC to let them work at other places, including other proper restaurants that don’t make fast food.

      Lol yeah right. I’m sure the only thing stopping Brandon from working at a Michelin restaurant is his McDonald’s job off of I-95

        So it’s better that he never even gets the opportunity to try to make it there? It’s better if he works at Mcdonalds until he’s 60?
