So it begins- Wendy's To Switch To Self Ordering and Automation To Avoid $15/hr Wage hike

[Maschine_Man]

$15 an hour for fast food? fukk that shyt.

BUT $7 is fukking ridiculous. NO reason that min. wage can't be around $10-$11 though.

If you are trying to raise a family on a minimum wage job period you dun fukked up somewhere in your life.




but fukk it...I'm a be at wendy's enjoying me a baconator saying fukk the world til I die.......probably from a heart aattack from eating those fukkin baconators...but c'est la vie!!

 

[GetInTheTruck]

go to college to make 15 bux an hour...

Sounds crazy but it's real out there. It makes these fast food workers that can't even put two sentences together correctly half the time look all the more ridiculous.

 

[PortCityProphet]

On one hand I want people to earn a living wage but on the other hand skill less jobs ain't worth $15 an hour. I wouldn't even be mad at the automation.
Why would a job a 15 year old with no worthy skill other than microwaving and sweeping floors be worth 15?
Now if they were back there mixing hamburger meat, seasoning it, and forreal cooking then Id be all for it, but the nature of fast food dont work like that

How many jobs with "skill" pay $15?

Look back at post history on this subject I posted a government database that show jobs that paid 15hr

You all saying 15 is too much must not make any damn money

 

[Bone$]

We need more unions...

 

[Blackout]

I do wonder what the naysayers think they should actually be paid because minimum wage ain't gonna cut it

I ain't searching through all of this for that. But if you link it I'll gladly read.
And considering the way America is set up $15 an hour is a lot. Big at the top small at the bottom. The top left everybody else to fend for themselves but that's the nature of the beast

 

[OG Talk]

Fast food brehs do not deserve 15 an hour. The end

A #2 from Wendy's Biggie sized is over $10 in metro D.C. area...

If you aren't charging fast food prices, then you have no right to cry broke and feed your workers crumbs..

Wendy's literally costs as much as 5 Guys and Red Robin now...

The way America is set up 15hr is not a lot.

The jobs that pay 15 have just as much or less skill than fast food worker

 

[Data-Hawk]

So if everything is automated and outsourced, who will be the customers since none of us will have jobs?

Let me guess, robots will be the customers also.

What's the median income of the average American family? $15 is a lot in america.

50k

 

[PortCityProphet]

50k

Divide by 2 and bam that's 25k a piece. Avg fast food worker now make what 15k a year?
So like I said 15 an hour a lot

 

[Nintendough]

A large corporation such as Wendy's can afford 15 an hr easily. It's a matter of not being willing to pay than an ability to pay.

and thats assuming you have a dual income home lol. Most of these fast food career workers are single. 15 dollars is good money in America. It is not middle class but it is enough to pay the bills and live, if you are making that much you shouldn't be having multiple kids unless you are married (hell you shouldn't have kids unless you are married/in a proven relationship).

15 dollars aint ish in Cali or NYC, but guess what majority of America isn't Cali or NYC.
