While whiney, over-privileged “safe space” millennials were marching through the streets demanding $15 an hour wages, fast food giants like Wendy’s were quietly working on automation innovations to make them obsolete. Now, Wendy’s has announced a rollout that would terminate the employment of thousands of cashiers by replacing them with automated kiosks systems.
The first rule of protesting for higher wages is to make sure you never become such a financial burden to your employer that they seek to automate your job out of existence.
Notably, automated kiosk systems don’t complain. They work 24/7, never show up late and don’t smoke pot in the parking lot then show up to work stoned. They don’t hit on other employees, argue with customers or call in sick at the last minute. Even better, employers don’t have to pay social security taxes, workers’ comp insurance and other wage taxes on robots. For every employee demanding $15 an hour, a company is spending at least $25 an hour in total benefits, taxes and risk.
No wonder Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Burger King and everybody else is trying to figure out how to get rid of human workers altogether.
