I hate ketchup on burgers and it's near impossible to get one without it. The last time I tried, I waited an extra 10 minutes for my "special order" and the idiots still put ketchup in it. That was 20 years ago. I haven't ordered anything requiring instructionns since. Kiosks will open a whole new world of food to me. ? Help is on the way! Under the green new deal you’ll be able to get a non-plastic bucket of ketchup ...but no burger. Problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should just return to the Fatherland where you get your ketchupless hamburger because the worker fears being hauled off go the gulag, eh komrade?

They don’t sneeze, pick their nose or not wash their hands after using the restroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were developing the software for a fast food robot, I guarantee I would program it so that a third of the time you told it "no ketchup," you'd get ketchup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Yup, automation is coming. $15 minimum or not. Banking is only one area where it will cut the workforce. Some are estimating that 40% of all jobs will be cut Don't worry @3rdnlng Useful idiots like you will still be needed to manipulate the political process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they wanted to 'Fight for Fifteen', because people in no-skill minimum wage jobs (that aren't meant to be a career) deserve more. Them ***** got it.

Just watch, the next step for Seattle won't be to back away from the minimum wage plan, but to prohibit businesses from closing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
