This Might Not Work Out So Good

We’ve all heard by now that the fast food industry has responded to the push for a higher minimum wage by starting to roll out self-orderkiosks. Now, without getting into the debate behind whether or not we should have a higher minimum wage, whether or not self-order kiosks will push workers into more skilled occupations, whether or not the kiosks were on their way anyway (and without any mention of the old automats regardless), and so on, I did want to make one comment:

So…we’ll see how well this works for fast food. Personally, based on my experiences at the supermarket alone, I’m probably heading for the line with the cashier if there is one.
