However, one simple fact is that not every task is worth a high wage. And doing such low value tasks for an arbitrary amount of time does not increase their values. The McOrder booths are a good example. Nobody deserves or should expect a so-called living wage for doing such a menial task that literally 99% of the people on this planet could do. And that is why those roles are being replaced with job-killing machines. The cost of such jobs exceeds their value.
Yet there seems to be a high demand for the products that these places offer. I highly doubt that jobs that are being replaced by machines are because the job exceeds the value, it is because a company sees another way to increase profits at the expense of customer service.

I don't agree with a company paying employees a non livable wage while the owner is making boatloads of money. Seems like we are going backwards rather than forwards. How has the Minimum wage increase negatively effected Minnesota?
