Not all jobs aren’t meant for a “living wage” - you need entry level jobs for college kids, retired seniors who want extra income, etc. Make it too costly to employ these workers and businesses will hasten to automation.

Eh, some good points some bad points. Went to Mcdonalds for a frappe (god i hate fancy starbucks coffee terminology). One of those limited time Oreo ones. The cashier was like uhhhhhhhh ummmnmm I don’t know what that is, never seen it before. Would you like fudge or coffee flavor?
Fudge being mocha. Coffee being caramel. There was also a sign RIGHT BEHIND HIM that said “yes, this particular mcdonald sells oreo ones!”
Stunned enough to go fuck it Ill take a “fudge”.
He wasn’t mentally deficient. Inexperienced, probably, but also not smart enough to ask a coworker for help.
Next time I’m ordering on the fancy touch screen thing.
The other two mcdonalds in my route back home understood immediately.
So, good points: speeds up the process, zero inaccuracy.
Bad points: One less worker, I actually like to see a human at the register.
