Thanks to the left, now even high school kids can't get jobs.
Thanks To 'Fight For $15' Minimum Wage, McDonald's Unveils Job-Replacing Self-Service Kiosks Nationwide
I also call bullshit. The same person that takes your order brings you your food. How would an automated order system reduce staff?
You order and pay through the kiosk.The food is prepared in the kitchen and is delivered to the customer from the kitchen without the need of cashiers and someone to hand you the food.
McDonalds, Panera, Wendy's, and Hardee's are all moving to use locations with significantly less employees.
Wendy's CEO commented: ""We've been able to create some efficiencies on labor across the restaurant ... like customer self-order kiosks, mobile order, and mobile pay," Penegor said. Kiosks could possibly "mitigate any of the inflation" seen on the wage front for Wendy's, and could for other chains as well."
Andy Puzder, the CEO of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, is convinced. "If you're making labor more expensive, and automation less expensive - this is not rocket science."
Bullshit! Kitchen employees don't deliver food.
The bottom line is companies don't want to reduce the quarterly record profits they're making.
