Computer Manages Restaurant Workers

9x320 writes "The chicken restaurant chain Zaxby's has started to use computers with software by Hyperactive Technologies to direct employees what to do and when to do it, and to decide how many should come to work. The computer works through the use of sensors, analysis of historic data, and touchscreens. The article compares the software to that in a science fiction novel published only just a few years ago, except the computer, Manna, also carried a voice synthesizer."

Re:you're sick

[drinkypoo]

Your whole attitude toward human beings, no matter their place in the rat race, is just sickening. You are a psycho, and need mandatory counceling a.s.a.p. People like you have no place in a healthy society.

Most human beings are just sickening. I at least have the decency to treat people as I would want to be treated. I would honestly rather be managed by a computer than by most of the managers who I've worked under, and frankly, I am not required to give a fuck about people who can't remember that I said "sausage burrito" and not "sausage biscuit" long enough to press the proper button.

On the other hand, you are a coward, which in my lexicon boils down to "little bitch". There is a 99% certainty that you are just another idiot slashbot with an axe to grind with me in particular, posting anonymously so you can preserve your "good" reputation. As such, I do care about you. I hope you get cancer and die.

Most people are a waste of CHON and the world would be a happier place if they were recycled. Pardon me for realizing this simple truth while you are still wandering around deluded. We don't do that, because it would be inhumane, which is to say, not something we would want done to us. If I flip someone off, it's because I would expect to myself be flipped off if I did that thing. I may be an asshole, but at least I'm not a hypocrite, which puts me worlds ahead of most of you.
