I mean, I like the idea. In the future robots will most definitely do lot of jobs that humans currently and still do. If it is already possible and working for McDonalds, then why not? I would like to visit in a place like this just to see it in action.

How much do you pay for a regular 4-cylinder car in your country?

2003 Ford Focus SVT >> At least 8k $.
That is awful. What is the cost of food there? Hopefully the fast food workers can afford a place to live in at least!! 
1 Big Mac is ~3.5 $, menu is ~6.5 $.
Human beings are more cost-friendly than robots for Mcdonalds.
Yeah well, McDonald's is not even real food, but that's besides the point. Eventually the price of labor drops too low for machines to be able to replace it.
Which is exactly why this thread is about the opposite effect: $15/hr for giving people tasteless burgers fast, and a smile as extra...
Yes, but the minimum wage argument in America is different. They don't have a free market economy, it is mixed, the fast food workers have to rely on the government to sustain themselves if they are not paid proper wages.
And the fast food industry is looking to not depend on fast food workers anymore. Robots.

It would be nice if McDonald's began accepting bitcoins. At least then they would do something interesting.

I don't think that's possible in early 20 years. Robots have way more cost than regular people. In my country Mcdonalds pay 1.3$ per hour to their workers. You can't compete with these prices with cost-ineffective robots.

If that's true that would be nice because working in McDonald’s isn't that fun.

The first programmer to build the spitting in your happy meal code will be a millionaire. Then there will be an automated smart contract that is going to insure your happy meal.
What a funny future

That's actually pretty cool. Increased efficiency, faster food, less attitude and probably a lot more hygienic too, what's not to like 
This way they can fine tune the recipes and have the robots prepare perfect burgers at every outlet. I just did a quick search but couldn't find any recent news update on this, any idea when they gonna start the experiment?

Nearly Half of D.C. Employers Said They Have Laid Off Workers, Reduced Hours Due to Minimum Wage Hikes
Nearly half of Washington, D.C. employers said they have either laid off employees or reduced the hours of employees to adapt to the District of Columbia’s minimum wage hikes since 2014, according to a report from the Employment Policies Institute.
The minimum wage in the District of Columbia has increased from a $8.25 hourly rate in 2014 to the current rate of $11.50 per hour. Mayor Muriel Bowser advocated a $15 minimum wage in her State of the District address earlier this year.
“In recent months, the City Council in D.C. has considered enacting a number of new labor mandates, including a higher minimum wage, a bill that would fine employers for schedule changes, and a family leave policy funded by a tax on employers,” the report says.

Hundreds Of Leftist Bots Convene At McDonald’s Headquarters Demanding $15/Hour
Hundreds of people gathered in Oak Brook Wednesday for the third consecutive year for a demonstration and march for a $15 an hour minimum wage and rights to form a union for employees of fast food restaurants.
Oak Brook has been chosen for the protest because it is home to McDonald’s headquarters, said representatives of the Service Employees International Union, which has organized the demonstrations.
The 2016 protest was scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday when McDonald’s is hosting its annual shareholders meeting.

Although its pretty interesting to see technology starting to be mixed in with everyday life in the form of robots, I do not think that it is benefiting anyone in this case. Fast food is fast enough, and you are only hurting people by letting them go of their jobs.
