NEW YORK – A CEO of a fast-food company is causing a stir on social media after claiming that he wants to create a fully automated restaurant.

“We could have a restaurant that’s focused on all-natural products and is much like an Eatsa, where you order on a kiosk, you pay with a credit or debit card, your order pops up, and you never see a person,” Carl’s Jr. CEO Andy Puzder told Business Insider.

Puzder says the automated restaurant would be cheaper since he wouldn’t have to worry about rising minimum wage.

“If you’re making labor more expensive, and automation less expensive- this is not rocket science,” Puzder said.

“They’re always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there’s never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex, or race discrimination case,” says Puzder of swapping employees for machines. “Millennials like not seeing people. I’ve been inside restaurants where we’ve installed ordering kiosks… and I’ve actually seen young people waiting in line to use the kiosk where there’s a person standing behind the counter, waiting on nobody.”
Boy, oh, boy.

The entitlement-minded seem to slither out of the woodwork, don't they? The CEO hasn't even started implementing the system, and already, the bedwetters are gnashing teeth and rending garments.

A little about me personally, I find the direction A.I. is headed will inevitably lead to overall bad ju-ju for humanity. That being said, Mr. Puzder is making a consideration for his business, that, from a rational, purely economic standpoint, is about as sound as it gets.

I don't eat fast food, and I don't consider it, "food", but from a health standpoint alone, an automated system removes the likelihood of Bubba or Tyrone's poopie fingers getting anywhere near my chow. Krystal and ShaNeNe won't be sneezing/coughing/spittling on Officer Farva's burger anymore either. Daryl and Rufus won't be having smoke breaks, and little Johhny won't need Friday night off for the prom.

Disclosure: I worked in Fast Food in high school, and I don't recall rubbing elbows with any scholars or gentlemen throughout my employment in that industry. Rather than bitch and stomp my feet, and demand more money, I went out and made an effort to achieve in life.

The "outrage" over this move, and this is coming from a guy who absolutely abhors A.I., is telling.

Anyone upset over this is screaming at the top of their lungs:

"I have no capacity for reasonable discourse. I am a dope."
