So restaurants like Wendy's begin implementing computerized order taking machines to axe some of those 15 dollar/hr workers. Good job, Dims! Doing what you clowns do best - killing jobs.
really? it seems that having to pay less people and keeping more profit is a wholly conservative idea.
McDonalds was floating that idea decades ago, when their average worker was making about was about $1.60 in 1970 and in 1980 it was $3.35
you are falsely blaming the democrats.
No I'm not. Wendy's stated that they were automating their stores in response to the 15 dollar/hr wage hikes. This is a leftist agenda.
false it's a corporate agenda .

Did you think Chick-fil-A was the only one?
From Tom Monaghan, founder of both Domino’s Pizza and the ultra-Orthodox Catholic
Ave Maria List PAC, to the Koch Brothers and their
Dixie Cups brand, conservatives have plenty of friends in the food world. A few, like Chick-fil-A, are controlled by far right-wingers who openly and unapologetically use their brands to promote conservative agendas. Most just quietly pour profits into campaigns and super PACs that oppose gay rights, abortion rights, gun control, universal healthcare, and other affronts to conservatism.
Business owners are free to exercise their Constitutional rights of speech and assembly, just as we are free to decide that we’d rather not help them to finance bigotry and intolerance.Here at Gigabiting, these are the food-related businesses with politics that leave a bad taste in our mouths:
Johnsonville Sausage has a long history of support for right-wing causes and candidates, most recently to fight the recall of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
Carl’s Jr.’s founder’s support of a nasty little proposition to fire gay teachers earned his hamburgers the nickname ‘bigot burgers.’
The
Waffle House, a southern roadside fixture with 1,600 mostly franchised restaurants, used centralized corporate funds to become a major supporter of Karl Rove’s group American Crossroads.
White Castle likes to support the seriously conservative Congressional Leadership Fund Super PAC.
The ice cream manufacturer
Blue Bell Creameries is also a fan of the Boehner-linked Congressional Leadership Fund.
Cracker Barrel has stopped firing employees who don’t exhibit ‘normal heterosexual values,’ but its political contributions list reads like a
Who’s Who of the Tea Party.
Outback Steakhouse has been criticized for strong-arming employees to sign over paycheck deductions to a massive in-house PAC. Ironically, that fund directs its contributions to organizations that fight labor-friendly causes like a higher minimum wage and a national health care system.
When you mop up kitchen spills with
Brawny, Sparkle, or
Mardi Gras paper towels, you’re lining the pockets of Charles and David Koch, the pair who is funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to groups like the National Rifle Association, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, the National Right to Life Committee, Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition, the 60 Plus Association and the American Future Fund. Like
Dixie Cups and
Vanity Fair napkins, they are all produced by subsidiaries of Koch Industries. It’s not food but it’s in your kitchen.
