it's about reducing the labor force. States like Washington and California wanting/or have pushed minimum wage to 15 an hr, if they can perfect the mobile or kiosk ordering, they can reduce their labor costs by 75% or more and eliminate those jobs.
 
I wouldn't even mine this weather if it was January. Even the snow... BUT BARELY 20 degrees every morning halfway through March. :mad:

I get that, but really don't think they can reduce much more. They still need to cook it (or whatever the do to it. Lol) and hand it to you. They usually waiting a moment for the food after they are done at the register anyway.

As someone who worked at DQ during highschool for a couple months, We only ran maybe 4 cooks at the busiest times. But had 4 people working drive thru, plus 3 up front taking orders, 2 floaters that would deliver food for inside customers. So going to an automated ordering system, right there cuts 7 jobs(that's just one shift btw), develop a conveyor belt or automated food delivery or even a direct from the kitchen cook to the customer approach and there's 2 more jobs for a total of 9 jobs. Honestly, I think it's gonna happen regardless. Think about it, when was the last time you went to a fast food joint and they had the drink machine behind the counter? Most now a days are self service.
