Being a fast food employee has little future. Saw an interesting feature on the news TV yesterday that a couple of California chains are installing automated equipment to replace human workers in response to the new CA $20 hourly minimum. They were demonstrating a new machine that did everything a human could do to fry and build a burger. It was pretty neat. I have read that McDonald's has been prototyping their automated restaurant in Australia for several years. Machines don't get paid leave, sick days, or join unions. Just a little oil every day.
