It is not just the fast food workers, it is the people who pick and process our food, the ones who deliver it and sell it to us. Those are all jobs that cannot be done well remotely.

That’s the key word, that they have yet to find a way to automate these processes such that they can match every single nuance and spark of intuition that a human worker brings to the table. They could readily build machines to automate the process, but the result would end up being such a mess that they’d lose more money on damage or destroyed product than they would save removing workers from the line.
