Fast food workers prepare to escalate wage demands (Let's destroy the few remaining jobs!)

Exactly! We only eat fast food when we are traveling. Even then, if there is a diner or independent, we would eat there instead.

Soon, here there will be a ready-made Japanese array of vending machines at every fast food place. Only a maintenance worker needed to fill, clean and repair them and no ‘Do you want fries with that?”....................

One thousand fast food workers?

Out of what - ten or twenty million?

This is a joke.

pancakes... 180 per hour...

Can the doughnut version be far behind?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

The upside of automated robots making the food is no spit in the food.
I guess all those workers can compete with low wage illegals.

Regulations killed manufacturing and now it will kill fast food jobs too
by raising the MW. Brilliant, more handout voters.

I see no future for our youth in America any longer, the glimmer of Hope has faded.

Sure. Wait until a large part of their wage goes to a pinky ring wearing guy named Vinny as initiation fees and union dues.

I briefly worked in a union grocery store as a kid. I made $3.50 per hour. The UFCW took forty bucks a pay out of each check.

I made 3.35 in my first job. Almost my entire paycheck went to a shakedown artist named State Farm. Parents said, “If you want to drive, you have to pay for your own insurance.”

Of COURSE these are PAID protesters. Notice the ready made shiny posters and the snazzy t-shirts?

This is astroturf at its best.

And the pathetic MSM just reports that this is "news".

Not a phony-baloney garbage photo-op.

Betcha that 95% of the "protesters" don't even work fast food.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, Momentum Machines (1) is based in San Francisco (never a good sign, IMO) and (2) does not appear to be publicly traded — probably working on VC at this point. But I will keep an eye out for it and similar companies. (Obviously having a great IDEA is only the beginning.)

Betcha 95% of the protesters don’t work, period.

An iPad cost 27 hours of $15/hr labor. Clerks take note.
