The $15.00/hr is not only ushering in robotics; but causing employers to cut staff, reduce hours to part time, causing some workers to loose company insurance and causing some food services to shut down completely.

How's that checkout line in your local supermarket,Home Depot,Walmart, looking these days? More auto checkouts? Fewer people operating the cash registers? Baggers? Hmmmm? Minimum wage at those spots is ZERO!!!No Vay Kay. No sick leave no coffee breaks...just work. Duh!

“How’s that checkout line in your local supermarket..”
Same here. Home Depot, Walmart, Harris Teeter etc. With the exception of Home Depot having two, Walmart, and Harris Teeter have ten and expanding. Only one employee in each to supervise the robots. Even those employees are ‘seasoned’, there before robotics installed and rotated to other parts of the store to avoid boredom.
