Of course this started in California - as if they couldn’t further drive businesses out and/or force them to automate. The closed businesses in my SoCal town tell the story of excess taxation and onerous regulations.
I was in a Whole Foods (called Whole Paycheck) yesterday and noticed that they’ve just added a whole bank of eight new self checkout stands. At many fast food places, you order from a kiosk now instead of a person at the counter.
Latest business to fall: Farmer John’s - makes of the Dodger Dog - which is pulling out of California after 90 years due to, as they report, the “high price of doing business in California.”
Of course the pols who mandate these regulations on businesses have never run one themselves, but they sure know how to drive them out.
Applause for “Farmer John’s”
