Raising the Minimum Wage causes McDonald’s to Install Kiosks, Ushering Out Workers

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Well, we knew this was coming.

It only makes sense. Why pay an uneducated person with limited skills $15.00 per hour when you can spend a few grand on a couple machines to do the exact same job?

The Left, as usual, remains clueless to the fact that raising the minimum wage will harm more than it will help. Yet, the ignoramuses who continue to support this policy keep bloviating and pandering to anyone who will listen.

If Democrats aren’t the biggest threat to America right now I don’t know what is.

From IJReview:

Maybe you’ve seen the machines that dispense drinks at your favorite 5 Guys, or the iPad that takes your order at Chili’s and Applebee’s, or the machine that takes your order at Panera Bread.

At McDonald’s, they’ve combined a computerized kiosk with a brand new menu, and it appears to be a big hit around the cou

Generally I’m kind of a people person. But, I’d rather order fast food through a kiosk. I’d rather that kiosk prepared it too.... if it could....

[kjam22]

The Kiosks don't have tattoos, unnaturally colored hair and/or piercings. The kiosks wont ask for $15/hour, days off or have bad attitude towards customers.

Yep...

They're reinventing automats.

Who didn’t see this coming?

Once this starts, it just keeps going. When Burger Kings sees this, they’ll follow suit, then Wendy’s, then...

When on vacation last week we stopped at Burger King for Milk Shakes and there was some foreigner there who was trying to order and nobody could understand him. They kept pointing at various dishes but even then it wasn’t helping.....until he saw someone with an ice-cream cone walking by and pointed to that.

Hell....10-12 years ago...we had a vending machine that cooked the best french fries!!

And this was in the basement of a hospital.

They were fresh..and they were GOOD!!!

That stops when the executions begin.

The Left never learns from the law of unintended consequences do they?

[BBell]

I spent 4 years of my life in Japan. I love picture menus and plastic replicas. I also like Kim-chi. I only spent a few months on Korea. Team spirits and some other exercise I can’t recall the name of.

[Nuc 1.1]

You are so correct. Our candidates need to articulate this at every opprutunity.

[4Liberty]

Exactly. It’s about DNC contributions via Union wage hikes — not “poor” McD’s workers.....

[jsanders2001]

Eat it liberal suckers...

[Catsrus]

Liberalism truly is a mental disorder. Let’s see.......income equality versus no job - which do you prefer you idiots?

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Machines > ghetto trash with neck tattoos demanding $15/hr

[fhayek]

Well I make a point to disagree with that very premise. There should be income inequality. I mean if you have no skills and few responsibilities, why would you expect to be paid like someone else who does? Furthermore, the gap in compensation will motivate you to acquire those skills.

[Catsrus]

I think you missed my point. I also agree with income inequality. I was trying to point out the foolishness of the liberal mindset. Sorry, if it was misinterpreted.
