Gateway Pundit ^ | June 15, 2015 | Jim Hoft

This is exactly what the left pushed for… Fast food chains were never meant to be a place for someone to raise a family of 6, they were to be part time positions with some full-time advancements. Mostly the fast food restaurants were for school aged kids to learn how to interact with people, with a job, to offer spending money, and to begin responsibility learning for their future.

When the cashiers are kiosks, and the burger-flippers are robots, I will start eating fast-food again.

I most assuredly will not eat at a fast-food establishment staffed by people who hate me because I am white, and who think they deserve artisan wages for slapping a burger together in a half-assed fashion and spitting on it because it is going to a white person.

actually the other day getting cigs it was $11.91, I gave her $22.16. She tried to push the 16 cents back. I pushed it back and said ring it up as $22.16. When the change came to $10.25, she said, “oh.”

We all knew this. Those who orchestrated this mess knew it, too. It’s the workers who were bamboozled.

McDonalds started testing this approach back in 2010 in Europe. Nothing new
and apparently it worked for them so here they come to the US. I have been in
other smaller convience stores that use touch screen to order food, etc.

Yet somehow they became a place for someone to try and raise a family.

anyone know what they pay by comparison to McDs?

$11.25 here (actually other side of the state at the closest one). Same starting pay as Krispy-Kreme. MCD in the tens.

I’d generally agree, with the caveat it depends on the college degree earned.
