And don’t forget Obamacare.

OK, I like to think I’m not an idiot, but I recently used one of these machines at a Sheetz convenience store.

I ordered a breakfast muffin sandwich with a side of hash browns. The sandwich arrived with the hash browns ON the sandwich. The clerk kept insisting I had ordered it that way. If I did those touch-screens were really SCROOOOD UP!

$12 an hour, 35 hours a week is $420. It's a living wage for folks who find an inexpensive but safe neighborhood, depend on public transportation, make excellent nutritional and lifestyle choices. Keep in mind that the person would pay next to no taxes and probably have some small benefits from work and probably some overtime opportunities. It's enough to "cut the chord" from being dependent on the gov.

Consider that is $21,840 a year. Many senior citizens are living on that amount or less.....without any government handouts.

I hope those machines are more intuitive than my car voice recognition system. I’m getting sick and tired of hearing, “pardon?”

A well run and happy store is always headed by competent and no-nonsense managers.

Hey I’d rather push a button that try to scream my order to some girl who can barely speak English.

Unions are nothing if not the ultimate Luddites. With the introduction of self-service, we may see massive acts of vandalism by unions and their flunkies, destroying the kiosks. This national tantrum will, of course, further raise the company’s cost of doing business, but may also harden the public’s negative perception of unions and their agenda of destroying capitalism.

So we're paying big taxpayer bucks to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill WHY, exactly?

There is no cure for stupid. Remember the small dollar coins? Two of them with ugly women on them.

Agreed. But that would mean that everyone would be required to carry a means of paying electronically.

Never heard of ObamaPhones or EBT cards?

[Thibodeaux]

if you have no phone, pay cash to a food cart

[dhs12345]

That’ll work.
