>Just when you think the fight for a $15 minimum wage is making progress, an international corporation hawking “old-fashioned hamburgers” comes along and throws a wrench in the master plan with the aid of a robot army.

>Wendy’s, one of the world’s largest fast food chains, says it will replace human employees with automated self-service kiosks in many of its approximately 6,500 restaurants.

Yup, Progressive Democrats and Leftists Demand you be paid $15 an hour, if not you don't get to work. Consider it state mandated vacation. The idiots sure know how to shit things up.

Hahahaha @ socialists.

They can't won even once.

>/r9k/
>having a job
top kek

I guess it could work as a Work-4-Neetbux program.

they would be paid in GBP

WHat will happen to the Chef at Wendys with the 10 inch dick?

As a fellow fast food worker, honeslty no jobs are going to be cut, customers are retarded and camt use them, it will take a very similar amount of staff to run the store, a few less at best, once you include how ridiculously unreliable they are and the constant maintainance they need there will be no loss of jobs

The executives are out of touch, this technology is superfluous

Get your fucking ged and go to a trade school retard, jesus christ its not hard.

I got mine in less than a year at 21 and im doing great now.

Granted i hate myself for every waking moment that i dropped out and will probably kill myself because of it but w/e

Fuck you OP

you are deluded beyond belief.

they work extremely well and aren't difficult to use.

same goes for self checkout services in places like tesco and sainsburys.

this is the future.

>/r9k/ finally has a job
Good for them.

>As a fellow fast food worker

Yeah, we'll look to you for insight. lol

Bs. I'd much rather push a few buttons than talk to some random nonwhite gay/trans

I would say that it is likely very few people are going to be fired over the machines. Not because the customers are too stupid to use them, but because of the turn over rate in fast food.

>once you include how ridiculously unreliable they are

I'm a cook at whataburger. To be fair most cashiers are mentally retarded. I have orders sent back constantly, not by my fault but because they always fuck it up when they're taking the order.

IMO replace the cashiers keep the cooks

they can't do that!
that's fucking racist!

End corporate welfare.

Eliminate SNAP and welfare
Elminate Medicaid
Eliminate earned income tax credit
Raise minimum wage to $15
Go single payer healthcare


I am paying for it anyway. Fuck these """ capitalists """.

>Work in fast food because I'm a shit and never got my diploma / GED
Instead of whining like a useless faggot you should be upgrading your skills and becoming useful to a quality employer

Fast food jobs are meant to be temporary, people like you are contributing to youth unemployment and are a net loss to the economy by filling jobs that 16 year olds should have while they are in school

Go back to school or gas yourself

>expecting to be piad for a job literal dumb niggers and apes can do

burn in hell, socialist thug.

>you've lived to see a time where the entire working class will be replaced by robots and when they chimp out on the streets robot police will efficiently massacre them all

paradise here we come

What a bunch of lanky faggots.
I'm a 6'7 Chef at Burger King with a 9 inch cock making 345k/year.

why off yourself if you are becoming successful? seems like a stupid thing to do; you dont need a diploma or a degree to make something of yourself but it is great to have.

There are 2 order takers at most fast food places, grand total of 1 order taker job lost (still need someone to stand and help people) but it is replaced by a maintenance person (not one per store but it would lessen the job cuts)

You are over estimating people who get fastfood, they are more often then not a bit on the simple side to put it nicely

Customers taking extremly long times on them would be detrimental to efficency as well

>raise minimum wage to $15
>crying to nanny because you are worthless to employers
Go fuck yourself, pussy

He'll have to become a gay escort. It's for the best, he'll make considerably more money.

people are retarded and crave social interaction.

I bet you money this will turn out like wal marts self checkout lanes where people will avoid them at all costs because people are lazy pieces of shit who don't like to be forced to learn new thimgs.

...

As a cashier and a cook a lot of the time the customers are wrong, they have told them the wrong things

You must not get out much

People love self-checkout and avoid lines because cashiers are retarded and try to force social interaction

Cause they call each other robots m9

/thread

You just don't fucking get it, you thick leaf.

I subsidize their wages with my taxes by all these aid programs, but the greedy little kikes that employ them profit from it. Give me my taxes back and let me pay an extra dollar for a cheeburger so the kikes oay them a """living""" wage.

Based Wendy's BTFOing libtards

>There are 2 order takers at most fast food places

Unless they work there 24/7 and are literally the only cashiers they have I'm sure there are more "order takers" than that. I'd say at least 6-8 people will become irrelevant at every fast food store ever if this were to happen.

they shouldn't get wages at all. Wages are just another form of socialist wealth redistribution. poor people deserve slavery, not wages.

At the place I work at it is very, very busy. Over 100k sales a week, 4 people at the absolute most taking orders, usually 2

Customers won't be able to use the kiosks fast enough in peak hour. They have installed them here and there have been zero job cuts, they literally remain untouched by the customers

What I don't get is the impression that you work at all judging by your complete lack of conviction and capitalism shitpost
>let's end the nanny state
>but wait let's still use it to force employers to pay useless faggots $15/h
You are a fucking child who pays nothing
It's one or the other. Why the fuck would you want a government forcing employers to pay unreasonable wages when all the programs that you allegedly subsidize no longer exist. Oh wait, right. You're lazy.

>poor people
You are lazy and it makes you poor. You are so lazy that you expect the government to artificially inflate your worth compared to what you achieve every day. It's pathetic and again, go back to school or just kill yourself

youtube.com/watch?v=wW-4LU79qbU&ab_channel=foxhomeent

are you a retarded liberal or what? why should I have to pay poor people?

You are the poor person. Holy fuck no wonder you never even got a GED, you have zero reading comprehension skills.

You are poor, get your fucking ged and go to a trade school, youll be making a fuckin salary if you go trough with it.

Jesus christ.

>4 people at the absolute most taking orders, usually 2

What the fuck?
At once, yeah, but those surely are not the only cashiers there working at the store.

i'm not OP you fucking retard. jesus christ, canadians are so fucking cucked they can't even think about anything other than dicks.

We have poster ID's here you dumb cuck.

>Canada in charge of anything

>You're an unfit mother
I wouldn't mind.

Witnessed
>scared

You can't automate huge dicks

Fuck off tripshit you arent welcome here, kys

You should have been included in this, confused faggot

The more i see these acap memes the more i drift into becoming an acap

>"You're children will be placed under the custody of Carl Jr."

Good

no more of this bullshit from mom about how the lady at the counter must have "forgotten" to include the tendies

See fucking machines, hombre.

>not throwing the meal in her face when this happens

Taught that stupid bitch not to fuck up my order again

It's happening...
Who's joining me?
Pic absolutly related

But you can't automate by dubs

Shitposting in bed is hard work

Sometimes I think there's a government conspiracy that the CIA uses canadian proxies and shitposts on Sup Forums to make us think canadians are dumber than they really are.

Whatch'a doing rabbi?

>ancap doesn't work because you can do a bad thing if nobody opposes you.

try that and you'll find yourself on the wrong side of everyone else's rocket launchers. come back with something that might actually happen.

...

If we had to compare each other right now you have admitted to having 0 skills and are scared for the future of your fast food career. I mixed up post IDs kek

>I mixed up posts for the entire thread while calling others stupid

We have colored poster ID's champ, they are literally made for retards like you. There's no excuse for that level of stupidity. I don't expect much from a cancuck though.

Youre a few steps away from a cushy union job and making a salary but instead you choose to not get your ged and work fast food for a living while shitposting on Sup Forums.

Im with the leaf youre fucking stupid.

It's just how it is nowadays. Unskilled people will have to learn new skills to make a good wage. Secretaries in hospitals are already being replaced by electronic medical records. Burger flippers and cashiers should be most worried, though.

You are both yellow and I am on mobile Keep diverting all you want, unfortunately it's still not a skill you can add to a resume

Do you even have a job?

I'm curious because you already admitted to shitposting in bed on a phone, you're about to hit the trifecta.

Yes. I have a great salary a pension plan and a full benefits package. And I don't work weekends.

>instead of implementing basic income lets prevent technological progress

as long as you allow capitalists to pay kids $8 bucks an hour you will never get the investments into automation which will revolutionize society

why pay people to do work a machine can do? costing people out of employment is a good thing and is responsible for all technological development, the only problem is people can't survive without income

Sorry, GBP doesn't count as a salary. Now go prep the bull before your wife gets mad and divorces you.

One IT guy vs 3 or 4 line cooks

Does that make you mad? Enjoy eating cat food and being "poor"

Go back to school or stop complaining about being disposable you lazy pleb

Why do you even bother lying on the internet?

If your previous retardation displayed in this thread weren't enough to prove you're memeing, the canadian flag you're flying is still a huge red flag.

Whether you believe me or not it doesn't bother me. You asked and you didn't even ask my occupation

At least we know for sure that you are worthless and unwilling to change

Like all technology it's going to take a while to get used to and refined a bit.

Locally I tend to use the little kiosk if I eat out just out of curiosity.

There is ALWAYS a confused 50+ year old individual mumbling at it.

There is ALWAYS some one dressed in a bow-tie helping them and trying to explain the system

People still need to cook and prepare the food because automating the back end is a much bigger process than automating the front end. In a perfect world this would result in them hiring people who are actually good at this rather than the guy with parkinsons shaking lettuce all over my burger.


tl;dr fast food jobs are going to be around for a while but you're likely not going to see the scum of the earth working there.

Take my advice OP. Get the full fuck out of your fast food job. Take up a nice language like java or if you like design go for css or html. I do java programming and make a solid 20 an hour as a full time college student

I'm looking forward to hearing how this does long term.

I live in a smaller city, and we had self-checkout lanes at some local chain supermarkets. Probably a year or 2 later, they removed them and just went back to cashiers because the customers couldn't understand them and the machines were always out of order.

This is unrealistic. The demand isn't there in a lot of states and moving across the country can be financially devastating for someone without savings.

It would be wiser for OP to research the job market in his state and approach schooling from that angle. The state should keep records of job growth and the trends for the coming decade at least. He should choose a career with great demand and high wages and take the relevant schooling. It may be CS (unlikely), it may be something like refrigeration. Who knows, it's different everywhere.

Just don't settle for fast food.

no they dont

I could drive to walmart right now and I take a picture and people would only be in the cashier lines.

but im lazy and tired because I worked a double yesterday and still have to go in at 10pm tonight

>hurr we should support all of humanity, just keep breeding forever
spotted the nigger

Even grocery store chain here has these now because people under 50 who are familiar with technology (basically everyone) uses them and they can get sales in approximately the time it would take a cashier to process one for next to no cost.

Walmart is the bottom of the barrel in terms of consumer intelligence and Walmart shoppers tend to be fat and buy ridiculous quantities of the products they like so it will probably take them more time to simplify the technology for low IQ fat hands and modify the platforms to handle 15 cases of diet coke at a time

So r9k is full of wqgecucks now?

I think its about time all the trash started dying out

Same for a lot of white collar guys do, so much pointless paper pushing. We need a strong authoritarian government who uses schooling to both educate and properly test for talents. Based on your talents and societies' needs, you get placed in a job. And thus the trash will quickly get cleaned up, Mexifaggots/Muslims/Eastern yuropoors/Roaches/Gooks/Niggers will be forced to go the fuck home because they can no longer find gainful employment

Fuck those idiots. They gave me 4 regular nuggets when I asked for 18 spicy nuggets.

>centrally planned employment
No.

I see people struggle all the time with that stupid coke machine with 5 million options.

>muh small government libertarian fantasy
You know that the trash will pile up even worse under those people? They absolutely want illegal immigrants they can pay nothing for

Free market would turn America into a third world country even quicker than it is already

Don't take this as defending the minimum wage hike, that's stupid as well

Economies are too complicated to centrally plan.
Not having central planning does not mean zero regulations.

You don't live in America bro. Americans are seriously too fucking stupid to use technology like this. Especially the type of Americans that eat fast food.
