Technology only gets cheaper, and as it does, those employees will be replaced either way.

it is an inevitability.

While wages alone are not the reason for brining in automation...it is damn sure one of the factors taken into consideration. A tipping point occurs when the cost of employee benefits becomes high enough to justify spending capital on automation. Other factors also come into play..but..to say wages have zero to do with these decisions is false.

trolling UTSA aside, I agree with that...it's a factor...but not why.

just accept that no matter what the MW is, fast food kiosks are coming, and will be common place very soon.

so when you get proven wrong, you are just a troll... got it!

when you start saying stupid ****, I say it right back to you...you're sane and rational when I talk to you one-on-one...you take on the bully mentality, and like to e-gang up on folks when you're here.

what did I say that was stupid? You stated that the kiosks had nothing to do with MW, yet the President and CFO of Wendy's says otherwise and I just posted his quote. You are the one that got defensive and even stated that you were trolling me...

How is Wendy's doing anyways?

Far from a scientific test but Wendy's is almost non existent when it comes to my family trying to choose which fast food joint we are going to eat at.

I mean we occasionally crave their chili when it's cold out but that's not very often down here in Hell Paso.

When I was much younger and had less money, I was all over those things but alas, I'm older and wiser now.

Those things are not related, therefore no lesson is learned, the protests will continue, and the MW will go up under President Clinton.

But you go right on ranting online about it, lol

And fewer people, especially oung people, will be able to find entry jobs because of the MW.

There are people like me that *hate* kiosk. I'll stand in line at the supermarket for 5 minutes rather than use a fast lane because I like people having jobs.

But the more expensive you make burger flipping or supermarket clerking the less people like me will hold sway in the business owners minds.

We generally hit them up once a week after the water park. They have better burgers than McD's...

Perhaps you are right. I just go to McDonald's more often because they have a playground and I have a four year old.

I kind of like Wendy's. I think they are trying to attract fans of some of the "fast casual" burger chains like 5 Guys and Shake Shack, so they've been rolling out some "limited time only" special burgers that have better buns, toppings, etc. The ones I've tried have been pretty good.

y'all are obsessed with fast food...

Sometimes it's just more practical to get fast food than to cook a meal at home.

not if you're married.

Try raising kids... I take them to a water park for 3-6 hours and don't feel like coming home to cook. We pick up drive through, head home, and eat together.

Considering the fact that any kid is going to carry half his DNA I would prefer he didn't try raising kids.

Wendy's chili is amazing.

There's such a thing as accelerating the inevitable.
