Robots don’t have an ATTITUDE.
And they don’t carry Third Whirled Disease.
Robots can’t pee or, spit in our food.
Robots don’t have Protests!
Robots don’t fight with customers.
Robots don’t have Norovirus.
Robots don’t have highly contagious Hepatitis A.

Would probably get a more welcome reception from an automated kiosk than any of the Wendy’s I have been to here in VA.

That’s what happens when governments increase the minimum wage paid to clerks who, while not afraid of work, are still less productive because they can barely speak English.

I’m a severe introvert, so pay at the pump, self-checkouts, on-line banking/shopping and these devices are blessings.

And more people are added to the unemployment roll and dependent on the State.

Dems got exactly what they wanted.

These devices have been widely used by Wawa convenience stores (northeast chain) for about 6 years.

They are primarily for sandwich orders. My kids have gotten to the point that they can order a fully customized hoagie in under 10 seconds. They workers always make it right.

They are in the process of adding the ability to submit and pay for orders with an app. Then you’ll just walk in, scan your phone receipt, and take your sub.

Robots never fail to show up for work without notice.

I would prefer to use a kiosk. I saw kiosks at several McDonalds off the interstates in Florida. One can customize the order and not worry about a person taking the order screwing up.

If you truly believe in the benefits of automation then you should be a devote protectionist.

Will Wendy’s install hand sanitizer beside the Kiosks?

Touch pads carry more germs than the toilet bowl rim in a truck stop. Bring your wipes.

I predict this will fail.

Due to increased food waste costs caused by customers who are too illiterate to properly order from the kiosk.

The Wendy’s in my town is about 40 years old, has never been remodeled and is filthy.

It didn’t take people marching in the streets for a wage for this to be developed.
