Why do fast food workers still earn the same, no matter whether they make 10 or 100 meals an hour? Why no commission on a per-meal basis? Rather unfair, ain't it?

I mean, why shouldn’t they earn COMMISSION for every burger, taco, or meal they make?

When they make 10 meals in an hour, they earn $7.50 that hour.

When they make 100 meals in an hour, they still earn that same $7.50 an hour.

If a realtor can earn commission from every house they sell, why shouldn’t a fast food assembler earn commission from every meal they make?

That is one more reason why I wish to relieve those workers of their miseries by replacing them with robots or whatever automated process fast food joints need to operate faster and more efficiently than warm bodies ever could.

(Sorry if I sound like a villain to a certain category of workers here. Henry Ford and Kiichiro Toyoda seemed like villains to the blacksmiths, horse and train vendors.)
