And so it begins. In a probably-related story several franchised Wendy's stores in my area closed recently.

You mean, instead of an ordering system that’s been unchanged since 50 years ago when Jack-in-the-Box pioneered the drive-thru with the crappy intercom connection to the illiterate inside, I’ll be able to mash a few buttons and get exactly what I want? Count me in.

-—...as minimum wage hikes and a tight labor market push up wages...-—

IBD is losing their edge. What do they mean ‘tight’ labor market?

Don’t tell me they drink the Kool Aid too.

No liberal will ever admit that liberal policies all fail. After a few years, they will be asking for $20 per hour. And that will fail too, prompting them to ask for $25...

Wendy’s was founded by an orphan that didn’t finish high school. He humbly worked his way up and created a great brand that was very successful. He died universally respected.

And now the people that work there want to take the easy way through life so they can buy a better smartphone and a bigger TV. Not to mention how many of them are “college educated”, but expect salaries that dont correspond to their worth with or without the worthless degree.

Bring on the Kiosks!

But seriously folks ... automation is coming to the fast food industry pretty soon, minimum wage hike or no.

The whole technology has been heading in that direction for a while. The minimum wage hike might give it a little shove to happen a little sooner, that's all.
