Wendy's introducing self service kiosks

This only points out that when the customer is required to perform manual labor in serving himself he has been coerced into performing the functions of an employee and therefore should be paid accordingly for pushing the buttons or doing self-checkout. All benefits of a regular employee and payroll taxes should also apply.

 

I see it as a pretty simple thing. Shitty jobs that pay shit and nobody wants SHOULD be done by robots.

Duh.

 

I woulda gave it back too, it just would have had some closeups of my junk on it. The laughter is worth more than money.

 

Yeah but we'll need more robots and less people.

 

Huge swaths of America are basically empty. We could fit another 100 million people in Montana/South Dakota/North Dakota no problem.

 

The suicide rate in those states would probably go way up. Who the f wants to live in those states?

 

Good news is less spit and jizz would be in your food.

Unless youre into that sorta thing.

 

Replaced by lube and metal shavings.

 

Gotta feed them. Robots going to build houses and cars and cell phones. What will the people do, especially if robots cook the meth?

 

Smoke the meth. And creep around trying to steal metal parts from robots to sell on the black market to make more money for that sweet sweet robo-meth.

 

Absolutely 100 percent guaranteed outcome.

 

...this reminds me of when I scored a two-for-one on the claw machine last week!

 

Well, I like the country... I like cold weather... And I'd get to watch the Blazers on LP sooooooo, it can't be THAT bad.

 

I know a couple people that have moved from.montana to portland a few years back. And a coworker from iowa. Those places suck. Montana water smells like asshole.

If i had to move to a place like that, idaho would be my choice.

 

Geez I don't think we come from the same experiances. I had a pretty shittly job when I was 16-17 years old. Basically the main part of the job working on an egg ranch was to till the chicken shit in the chicken houses into the sawdust duff daily. The tiller I speak of was a garden tiller put to a different duty. I think a robot could do the job alright, but then, I would have been looking for another robot job to pay my rent and buy dinner.
Thank goodness, I was probably cheaper than the robot, they were quite costly in those days.

 

Karaoke and actually any record player or radio basically destroyed jobs of musicians all over the world. Nobody could justify paying a big band to play the weekend when a DJ could spin discs through a PA...there are millions of these stories ...it's life. If flippin' burgers is your only ambition, you will be shit out of luck as time goes on.

 

Only if you continue to raise the minimum wage and force the people out. Technology is not free, but it does become viable as the cost a labor rises.

 

Actually the Karaoke machine for example, rather than hire a band, you just charge the customers to sing..it's pure profit

 

If a young unskilled person wants to work in the food industry, Wendy's jobs shouldn't stop them anyway..ATM machines have put bank tellers out of works. Wages shouldn't go down but prices should probably be adjusted

 

True, and the musicians made it possible by opting to mass sell their product via repeatable media.
