The kiosks are slower than ordering from the cashier.

Sheetz and wawa have always had self-ordering kiosks and they rule, are quick and helpful for if you have a detailed order. I can't really imagine it not being the same way for a fast food restaurant

I am the queen of France.
The best automated ordering system is Panera's rapid pick up, I love that poo poo. I just punch in my order before I get in my car and by the time I get to the store it's sitting on the shelf and I can just grab and go with zero human interaction.

I know, :goonsay:

I ordered Starbucks via the app the other day because I was buying for a few people and it was awful how much I enjoyed busting in there, jumping the line and busting out in front of 6 people in line.

Pretty sure confession bear is just a confession you're not really proud of. Does not have to be reliable.

Also I like the automatic terminals to order because I can take my time without wasting someone's time.

You aren't wasting someones time when they are literally paid to take your order, just saying.

You're wasting someone's time either way if there's anyone behind you. Order faster.

On the other hand it can be argued that the loss of all unskilled labor to automation can result in the increased demand for the expansion of welfare and the formation of class conscience in the younger generations that have been hosed unfairly by the capitalist gerontocracy

There's generally like one or two cashiers at a time in any given fast food place and those cashiers usually also make food at other times, it's not really eliminating a huge amount of jobs to replace them with a more efficient terminal. Hell at Sheetz and Wawa you still have to hand money to an actual human after you order and pick up your food the only difference is that there's less of a chance they'll forget/get your order wrong cause there's a big screen that lists everything right after you put it in the system

Well maybe People should be born to middle or upper class white families who can pay their way through college and pull strings to get them good paying jobs without having to go through a real interview or deal with actual job requirements then. :colbert:


No, I'm not bitter at all of having spent my entire life being poor and seeing unqualified people get the positions I applied for, for no reason other than knowing one of the higher ups personally. Why do you ask?

I'm willing to accept a nerd queen who writes like that, but yeah, it seems like a suspiciously un-girlified space for a supposed marital household. Like, the DVD rack in particular seems weirdly manchildy with no womanchild contributions other than possibly Romeo + Juliet, Hunger Games, and Sherlock.

That, and the exercise seems more like someone showing off his awesome geek swag + nerd queen than a particularly interesting joke.

If he had just posted "here's some cool stuff I had" it would have been fine, but he had to make up this game that just makes it sad.

Because gently caress the man, they just want to get paid $15 an hour to flip burgers and give back change! Not like those poor people who only have six and seven figure salaries, all the hardship they face, all the burdens put upon them. It's all they can do to be able go home and tell their daughters they can only have a hot pink Volkswagen Rabbit for their 16th birthday and not a Porsche.

This comes up a lot in the Idiots on Social Media thread, and knowing who's posting them helps understand a lot. These people aren't cheering on big business or anything, they just straight-up don't want people to get what they have without trying, even if the same system would cause them to make more money. It's plain old spite, as well as perhaps misunderstanding the whole argument given how many people go 'why should burger-flippers get paid fifteen dollars an hour and not paramedics!?' As if the minimum wage magically only applied to McDonald's workers.

Thanks for the heads up that the Idiots on Social Media thread isn't getting gassed on sight anymore.

And yeah, you'd be amazed what spite can accomplish. Like, I knew that states decided to not take the Medicaid expansion but what I didn't know was that that decision was with the government footing 100% of the bill up until 2020 when it'd drop to 90% but even then some states decided to not accept it so wow, bad decisions are just loving loved by people, it seems.

It really feel like someone found a Ron Paul quote and slapped it on a Bernie picture. Though some research seems to show that Sanders looks like he's pissed off the Saudi's don't make any efforts to confront ISIL, so it might be right.

How McDonald's gently caress over worker? The worker can get a job and make some money and the work is low skill and easy to do. I think it is beneficial. Why so much anger?

For a family of four, if each parent is working eight hours a day, six days a week, 52 weeks a year, you'll still need ~$15/hr.
