Minimum wage and mechanization


A while ago I opined that higher minimum wages might lead companies like McDonalds to substitute to machines. A former student sends me:
here's a photo I took in the McDonald's on the Champs-Élysées, Paris, of the screens where customers can place their orders and pay. After a short wait, you pick up your burger and fries at the counter.
I did not ask just why he is eating at McDonalds in France!
