thebandit27 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 You act like they weren't going to roll these out anyway. News flash, the $15 minimum wage isn't here and they're still rolling these out. It is indeed already in certain parts of the country, and others are implementing it in a tiered fashion. They may, in fact, have been planning it all along, but I'd find it unrealistic to pretend that forcing more than a 100% wage increase on fast food companies isn't going to usher in the era faster.

NoSaint Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Why don't they just make an app? id be way more prone to use in store instead of downloading an app and dealing with alerts and a bunch of individual restaurant apps that i dont frequently use.

unbillievable Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 You act like they weren't going to roll these out anyway. News flash, the $15 minimum wage isn't here and they're still rolling these out. There is a reason why these machines popped up first in places where the wage is already artificially high.

Beef Jerky Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Why isn't this everywhere?! http://www.businessinsider.com/customizable-burgers-represent-mcdonalds-future-2016-4 It's probably a way to get people to use self ordering kiosks as they lay off employees demanding 15$/hr. Its already in the UK and Australia?! Why is the USA last? Every WaWa and QuickCheck have these. So McDonalds is finally catching up.
