MCD Goes DIY

Thursday June 7, 2018

MCD is adopting DIY kiosks for cashiering in response to $15 Minimum Wave Laws.

Careful in their answer as to who will be displaced, MCD replied those workers will assume different roles such as Guest Experience Leaders.

The truth of course is that given high turnover of  such personnel, MCD simply won't replace those leaving by choice.

This is the folly of the progressive movement from collapse of  Venezuela to the exit from CA and CT to southern states. One cannot force things to happen, markets work, unilateral laws do not.

 

And really this is not a start but a continuation of a trend.  Investors are now their own brokers entering trades on home computers.  The filling station is a distant memory.

Self check out at grocery stores is a reality. So self check out at the MCD is not surprising.

And in the nothing new under the sun dept

AICPA expands Certificate Program to 20

June 5 2018

Students in my classes are made aware of the importance of gaining an independent certification.

Now the AICPA has really jumped on board adding some 20 Certifications or Digital Badges.

This is just more evidence that as the college degree becomes commonplace, independently awarded achievement takes on more importance.
