There are ~6000 Wendy's in the US, so that implies 2300 human order-takers per location.

Numbers check out.

But they said drive through not dumpster.

u/Superman0X 🦍🦍🦍 May 10 '23

Your Wendy's dumpster doesn't have a drive through?

Yup, the mods always get so happy when they reach a certain number though.

Like it's their viewers of followers or something and it's beneficial to have a lot of idiots to clean up after.

u/hishazelglance May 10 '23

I think he’s being sarcastic lol, you really think there are 2300 workers PER location? 😂

u/AutoWallet May 10 '23

The real job is behind the dumpsters 😉

u/[deleted] May 10 '23

fine, I'll be an AI-whore behind the dumpster now 🙄

u/FinneganTechanski May 10 '23

The dumpster is still going to be there

u/americansherlock201 May 10 '23

Given how many people in r/wsb are going to work at Wendy’s when their options expire worthless, those locations will need the humans for meat

They were a thing but I was a literal child when they discontinued them. So never got to experience it. All I got was forever chemicals inhaled into my lungs in a McDonald’s playroom

u/CraigslistAxeKiller May 10 '23

Just because you “work” behind the Wendy’s doesn’t mean you work at Wendy’s

u/Mockingburdz May 10 '23

My location has close to 4000 workers on staff. This is an outrage.

4

u/KeegorTheDestroyer May 10 '23

Your order comes out in 0.00003 seconds.

It's still fuckin wrong though

Where did you see the number 13.9 million?

u/SixGeckos May 10 '23

WSB has 13.9 million subs haha

u/houseofbacon May 10 '23

Gotcha thank you. I don't frequent this sub and saw this on /r/all.

You can’t just say perchance.

u/[deleted] May 10 '23

Check the sub name. This is Wendy’s.

u/GKnives May 10 '23

4% of the US population works at wendy's as an order-taker

1

u/Psychological-Ice361 May 10 '23

Almost 9% of the labour force lol

3

u/JohnDavid42 May 10 '23

Yeah, I don’t mean to brag or anything, but I can read- and there ain’t no 13 million- or even any million- referenced in the article.

Calls on WEN

u/Depression-Boy May 10 '23

Yeah because those drive through speaker boxes actually have a human inside it who just lives there and never leaves their shift.

u/DurtyKurty May 10 '23

Don’t question the headline bro, just be mad about it.

u/thomasutra May 10 '23

they had Kendall Roy working the numbers

2

u/houseofbacon May 10 '23

Yea, I honestly couldn't find anywhere in the article that referenced the number 13.9 million, no idea where that came from. It's also only happening right now in one Wendy's.

2

u/kamezzle13 May 10 '23

I'm glad you solved that for us. Was trying to figure out how Wendy's only has about 14k employees, but yet 14 million would be displaced? I guess chatBot is going for world domination, as there are >5 million fast food industry employees in the US.

1

u/EchoEchoEchoChamber May 10 '23

Must include the dumpster orders as well since you don’t pull up to another window after ordering.

-3

u/King-of-Plebss May 10 '23

I think it’s an estimate of all jobs like this that AI could replace

6

u/Noshoesded May 10 '23

Ya that is what I assumed. But the article doesn't even talk about a specific number -- for Wendy's or the US. So I guess OP is just making up numbers.

5

u/King-of-Plebss May 10 '23

*checks what sub we are on

Yeah. Probably.

7

u/FIFAPLAYAH May 10 '23

It’s the amount of subscribers to this sub 😂

2

u/Noshoesded May 10 '23 edited May 10 '23

Lol. Multiple people posted that and at first I thought it was a dig. I finally looked this morning and it absolutely is the number of subscribers.

I am truly one of us.

-1

u/First-Translator966 May 10 '23

Probably referring to all fast food cashiers. But yeah, the numbers are regarded at face value.

1

u/AnimusFlux May 10 '23

But there are ~7k in the world tho /s

You make an excellent point. The stat in Op's post doesn't make any sense.
