"...we work to offset any impacts of future wage inflation through technology initiatives," said Wendy's.
This is progress! We’re replacing workers with robots, and we’re ordering everything online and don’t have to go to those pesky stores anymore!
Boy this really is common sense...so now we have robots doing the work that HUMANS can do, except for these idiots that don’t realize the more the wages go up, the higher the prices go, so people don’t eat out...plus obuma raises gas prices so the truckers that bring the food to the stores for us to buy, the food costs more...
Hurry up Trump...we need you in office NOW!!!
Congratulations, Democrats! Your push for a $15.00 an hour minimum wage will help to reduce the number of employed democrats...really smart move, morons!!!!!!!!!!!
Kiosks take no sick days, demand no time off, and their wage rate remains tied only to the cost of electricity needed to keep them operational and for amortization of the original investment, over the useful lifetime of the device.
The big-bucks jobs will be in the manufacture, installation, and maintenance of these kiosks. They will be quickly move from first generation to newer and newer iterations of the concept.
Yes.

They used to have computer kiosks at our local Jack in the Box restaurants. I liked them. The orders all came out correct and there was never a line to use it. I am not sure why they took them away.
Welcome to the world the Democrats created — A bunch of skilled workers making high wages and paying over half their income in taxes. The unskilled are unable to find work so they stay on the dole voting for the Dems.
the law of unintended liberal consequences
The minimum wage did the same thing originally with door openers and elevator operators, ect.
There are TONS of jobs I would rather pay a human to do, that I can’t afford to because of the minimum wage
Many restaurants are set up to let customers to make their own salads and pour their own sodas. Just add burgers and buns to the salad bar and be done with it.
retro comes back BIG!!
“the Horn and Hardart Automat, NYC”
Tee hee.
It’s not that a single person cannot make a living on 40 hours at $7.65, but when you’re 2 hours late Monday and leave early Thursday and don’t come in Friday that person cannot make a living. 27 hours at $15 is better and you still get the EIC.
It is time for the EPA to ban kiosks because of environmental concerns.
Are they going to make burgers at a factory and truck them in frozen?
Also, everyone should not forget the Donkeycare medical insurance costs.
Who could have anticipated this? LOL
When I was a boy, gas was 39 cents a gallon, and they had at least two guys COME OUT to your car, pump your gas, check your oil, and smile at you. Then...labor got more expensive. And before long, employers and customers found out that most people were willing to pump their own gas if it made the price of what they were buying cheaper. Where are all those “gas pump jobs” today?
My Kroger started with 4-station self-serve, and now has six stations to one human checker...and is bringing in electric do-hickeys where you scan your own groceries as you go. Walmart has a CORRAL of ten checkouts, run by one live human watching you. Obama-driven labor cost increases mean a third as many jobs for the next wave of high-school kids.
And Wendy’s is getting on board with ORDERING KIOSKS at most of their burger places. Think about that...one less human being at LEAST. I guess the “$15-an-hour” magic jobs that the Democrats and the unions assured you could have...are really “Zero-an-hour” jobs for a lot of you. But don’t worry...the Liberals say your impending unemployment will be a GOOD thing, because “you will get to spend more time with your families.” And paying you to do nothing is supposed to be an indication of how much Uncle Sugar LOVES you! Well, until the Red Chinese stop giving us credit to keep you afloat. You smug kids think that you are “too smart” to vote Trump...but you bought into Obama, who did THIS to you. As Agent Kay said in Men In Black, “Lord, what a gullible breed.”
Great, I understand when Wendy’s implements the new kiosks, at 70 percent of their locations, the prices on all Wendy’s products will be cut about 43 percent.
Great deals coming at Wendy’s.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! 15 dollar minimum wage ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
