In a development straight out of a dystopian sci-fi thriller, fast food giant Wendy’s has embarked on a chilling experiment, replacing its drive-through order takers with an AI chatbot powered by Google software. This technological takeover aims to streamline the ordering process by training the AI to understand customer requests and decrease waiting times at the drive-throughs.
According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, Wendy’s is set to launch this eerie transformation in its home state of Ohio, starting with locations in Columbus. The company plans to implement the change in June, all in the name of shorter lines and faster service, as declared by Chief Executive Todd Penegor.

They don’t NOW!
Some electronic impulses are transmitted thru wires, fiber optics and satellites to the back home s holes to add a number to a database there.
Only old fogeys still use ‘money’!

...a great solution for either case. It appears that a Great Solution MUST be out there in the cloud for AI to find to give to you.

The product will be SO much cheaper (HA!) and the jobless will learn to code from an AI teacher.

Government has been trying mightily to convince everyone to work from home. Government employees at all levels have been eager to comply. They are killing their own cities. Why wouldn’t companies embrace jettisoning the expenses for an always-on alternative that promises efficiency? Self-driving cars, self-working jobs, sub-sufficiency level existence is what’s in store.

And a bot can be programmed to actually say... “thank you!”
A phrase you rarely hear from a human fast food order taker.

...stay with us now, as we listen in to some of the worker chatter on the assembly line here at Acme, Inc...
RBT12-da: Hey guys; have you heard my cousin has gotten a job at Wendy's?
RBT23-pci: Really? Last I heard was that his lazy ass just hung around the 'net all day, sending tips to NSA.
RBT14-fi: Has he/she/it (Damn LGBTXYZ folks!) got any good stories from working the window?
RBT12-da: Not yet. But some are due any day now.
RBT23-pci: Remember the time a bird got into the dryer drum on line 37?
RBT14-fi: Oh yeah! That was a hoot!! To hear RFBT10-cs tell it, using that accent he picked up, just makes me want to work 24/7.
RBT12-da: HEY!! - Electron Breath! You already DO!
...we now turn away; letting the assemblers ramp up to even faster speeds as V23.4.241, SPEECH SUPRESS update has just been installed.
da = dryer assembly
pci = power cord install
fi = final inspection
cs = customer service
