"Momentum Machines estimates that every fast food franchise in America spends an average of $135,000 annually on staffing."
Think about that for a second.
$135,000 is all the entire staff of a McDonalds sees per year, in pay and benefits.
It's already almost a vending machine, for all it contributes to our population's welfare.
