Arrr, me hearties! The scallywags in California be raisin' the minimum wage, but fear not! Fast food joints be turnin' to automation to cut costs. No more wage-earnin' landlubbers takin' orders, just digital kiosks. Aye, it be a pirate's life for me! Arrr!
Arrr mateys, listen up! The scallywags in California be gettin' clever with their gold grubbin'. They be raisin' the minimum wage for fast food workers, so what do the sneaky owners do? They be switchin' to automation faster than ye can say "walk the plank!"Instead of havin' us wage-earning humans takin' orders, they be makin' customers use digital kiosks. They be sayin' it be savin' them a pretty penny with the rising labor costs. The minimum wage be jumpin' from $16 to $20 per hour on April 1, and these landlubbers be lookin' for ways to keep their loot.
Harsh Ghai, a Burger King boss who be runnin' 140 joints, be one of the scallywags makin' the switch. He be sayin' it be helpin' him stay afloat in the sea of rising costs. So next time ye be orderin' yer grub, don't be surprised if a digital mate be takin' yer order instead of a friendly face behind the counter. Ye be supportin' the rise of the machines, arrr!
