TKC COMING SOON: KANSAS CITY INSIDERS WARN FIGHT FOR $15 ACTIVISTS ABOUT KIOSK REPLACEMENTS AT THE MOVIES!!!



TKC NOTE: Here's a KICK-ASS message that offers some observational insight that locals should confirm during the course of their own weekend adventures. Also, could be a scary preview of life for workers on the losing side of the so-called "fair wage" struggle. Take a peek:

How's that working out for you?



I went to a movie last night at AMC at the Ward Parkway Shopping Center.

What caught my attention was that they have removed entirely the ticket booth that previously housed 4 to 5 employees operating the 4 ticket dispensers and 4 cash registers.

The ticketing is now done by 7 automated kiosks and one employee offering help to the very few that needed it. It was exceptionally fast and efficient way to get exactly the service I needed.

As I filled up my own drink with Coke and the self-serve beverage station . . .



Dr. Phil’s famous tagline, “How’s the working out for you” kept running through my head.



Tony’s Kansas City is the only place that has warned of the logical consequences of stupid economics and how it can only lead to unemployment.

And so to all those demanding an increase in minimum wage, I’ll ask… “how’s that working out for you?”

  1. I can already hear the reply, something about how they can't flip the burgers themselves or some nonsense like that.

    Here's the deal.

    They can.

    Automation always replaces workers and the ones left over are really forced to work even harder.

    There's no protesting out of this and instead it's better to try and prepare for the future.

  2. One thing you missed TKC.

    It's Wanda's AMC now.

    How much do you think this Chinese corporation cares about social justice complaints?

    In their homeland, they shoot people for far less than the last year the fight for 15 activists have been protesting.

  4. Is the author suggesting that we only pursue technology because you may have to pay workers?

    We got the hammer because we were tired of Prometheus wanting water breaks in between banging his hands on the nail.

    The car because those damn horses wanted quality hay

    Microsoft excel because the minimum wage went up to $4 an hour.

    This is the dumbest post I have ever seen. Those people would have been replaced by kiosks the minute that kiosks proved to be able to work reliably.

    Never let this dumbass write on here again.

  5. But, since we didn't increase the minimum wage, how can a minimum wage increase be responsible for automation displacing workers? Organize or starve, slaves.

  6. Sure Tony. And when all jobs are automated, who'll buy movie tickets?

    And to the person who thinks that AMC hired "four to five" employees to man the ticket booth at all times? Got any more fantasies to sell?

  7. Exactly, 4:56.

  8. That dumbass is named T. Botello. He wrote it. And it's gonna work out great because most of the AMC employees at that dump were niggers and even when they gave you change you couldn't get the stench of nigger off your money. I had to burn mine, it smelled so bad. Plus you can't trust them around the food either because they ejaculate on the popcorn and call it jigabutter. Gross! Plus a manager there told me all the niggers do is steal shit and let their tribes in for free. Hello kiosks! Goodbye niggers. Probably ought to build a rocket and get off this planet, we don't need you.

    NIGGERS BUILD A ROCKET? hahahaha

  11. There has to be a living wage or a militia willing to shoot and bury the excess population.

    ReplyDelete
  12. They'll need militia's to hold people at gunpoint to work outside the theaters.

  13. Tony, Please don't let that dumbass at 4:47 comment in here ever again.

  14. I prefer the kiosks. I guess these assclowns haven't been reading Forbes lately. Nearly all jobs will be automated by 2030. That means the days of begging for a job are coming to an end. That means you'll have to be in business for yourself. Time to pay attention in class is now.

  15. No attitude. No insult. Nobody at the counter looking me or my guest up and down. Kiosks are just a better way. Makes the experience more enjoyable. Just remember to wash your hands after touching it.

    ReplyDelete
  16. "jigabutter?"

    ReplyDelete
  17. If a kiosk gets shot up it's better than some minimum wage kid gettin' shot or hurt in a melee.

    ReplyDelete
  18. some mother fucker looking me and my guest down is gonna find out what his goddamn ear smells like..especially if its a nigger but they got them litle bitty ears.i dont know if i could knock that big flat nose that crooked,but i could flatten that ugly wide mother fucker more for him.

  19. now if gates could do that shit we'd be set.

  20. If there were 500 people a year getting shot and killed there would still be an unemployment problem.

  21. I can't wait until all QT clerks are replaced with touchscreens of some sort.

    I get real tired of those clowns in their polo shirts referring to me as "chief" or "boss" when they're making my change.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The irony here is that most of these comments are written by people who are unemployed or unemployable.

    ReplyDelete
  23. 7:06 that is the truth man...where the hell theypick that shit up man..in my experience ,dudes who talk like that either think theyre hard asses or that theyre just some pretty neat mofos..lmao

    ReplyDelete
  24. jiggabutter? we call it nigger nougat.

    ReplyDelete
  25. You rarely see a nigger working at QT, that's because they can't be trusted around money.

    Hell, you rarely see a nigger working!

  26. Personally, I like the kiosk style of doing most retail type business. I enjoy self-checking and bagging of my groceries at the store. That way my tomatoes are never on the bottom of the sack under the frozen vegetables or a large bag of bakers potatoes. I don't have to explain to the self-service checkout scanner rather I've had a good or bad day and for the so-called checker, I see no reason to share my life with someone who has no drive to get out of the dead-end job they have, but feel they should be overpaid to do it.

  27. If you oppose the workers, you are only opposing your own fate.

  28. I'm ready for bank teller, Walgreens, CVS and Pharmacy kiosks. Let's go!

  29. 8:05 QT screens with a math test. The remainder of the proof is left to the student as an exercise.

  30. "The ticketing is now done by 7 automated kiosks and one employee offering help to the very few that needed it."

    Stay away from those automated ass wipe machines in the mens room. I ended up with a scab from my ass crack to the end of my massive penis and a tattoo that says "admit one".

  31. 11:30 good one!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I stopped going to AMC following their sale to the Chi-coms.
    Those who predicted that an increase in the minimum wage will eventually result in fewer people actually being employed must be laughing. They told us so!

  33. Go to the movies at B&B , if you go on Tuesdays you get a discount
