Pizza Hut hires ROBOT waiters to take orders and process payments
Pepper, the cutesy humanoid robot, has got a job at Pizza Hut - and could be taking your order by the end of the year

As long as it only takes orders and payments I could live with it. If it starts making pizza, no way. I'm pretty safe though since I don't particularly like Pizza Hut.

Wendy's ordered 1000 kiosks. But, those remaining will get a raise, until they are also replaced.

I was talking to a friend of mine that lives in San Diego. Apparently, they passed the minimum wage hike. Now, meals everywhere cost more. Service is slower because there are fewer employees. I have relatives in the Seattle area, and they are seeing the exact same thing (and they are Democrats).

Absolutely, food service is either going to charge more for food or cut staff. Sometimes both since higher meal cost will ultimately mean fewer customers.

Columbus, Ohio has been home since 2010 and is the Global headquarters for Wendy 's. I was in a Wendy's recently and couldn't help to notice that three cash registers were replaced with kiosk machines. Those wishing for a minimum wage hike had best be careful for what they are wishing for because getting zero is far worse than what they are getting now!!
