Higher productivity in this environment pretty much universally translates to fewer staff on shift. It’s just another way to lower costs at the expense of non wealthy people. Why do you think it’s so hard to find help in any big box store nowadays? Or why most of them only have one or two cashiers working when lines get longer and longer?
PS: $18 an hour in the bay in 2024 might as well be under minimum wage. It’s unconscionably low if one wants to maintain any standard of living.

It's $20 now. https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Fast-Food-Minimum-Wage-FAQ.htm https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Fast-Food-Minimum-Wage-FAQ.htm
