The average McDonalds worker will very soon be a robot. Already everywhere in Europe, there are order-taking kiosks in McDonalds, each one replacing at least two workers. Fast, convenient, never demanding a raise, never joining a union. Pure win. The good news is that society already survived this kind of economic transition, no less dramatic: moving from manual labor to automated manufacturing. The bad news is this transition required a world war and temporary export of working class in China (the latter won't happen this time). There are almost no unemployed at wartime.
