"McDonaldâs opened its first robotic restaurant in Phoenix..."
That's gonna put a real crimp in union dues receipts.
How long til the robots get hacked into joining a union ?
And Mitt Romney says the GOP is “nuts” for not advocating an increase in the minimum wage!!
As usual, elite idiocy!

Those liquor stores are all owned by Asians (mostly Koreans it seems) so the Asians of C-Town are being taken advantage of by their own brethren.
A fact I would like to know is this: “How much shoplifting occurred at this WalMart store vs the typical WalMart store?”
The $15 hour may have been the excuse given for closing a money losing store due to theft.
Oh, oh. A big box desert. What will the obamas’ do about this? Mandate the store stay open?
When humans join unions, crowd madness develops. But when robots join unions, the opposite may occur—a collective intelligence may develop.
Shhh!
Don't give the jug-eared freaking idiot any ideas.
You reap what you sow.
They wanted $15.00 wages and unionization, they got it and look at the wonderful results of their socialist/communist actions.
Serves them right!
Liberals. So much smarter than the rest of us! *SMIRK*
They mount the cameras in the big ticket areas. Dry Grocery and bakery is comparatively chump change. Not to say that a store in a blighted area isn’t getting raped by its customers. Wages and benefits are the number one expense for just about any retail store.
Not exactly on point, but: “Private union membership has plummeted from 40% in the 60’s to 6.6%...”
Meanwhile PUBLIC union membership has soared, and created a new class of overpaid apparatchiks who direct our lives, can’t be fired, and are guaranteed old-age wealth through overly generous pensions.
At least the robots don’t spit or sh#t in your food. And they are probably more courteous.
What’s to complain about two times in a row they got what they asked for.
Consumers pay ALL taxes ultimately. Same w wage hikes. Every business must pass on its costs to consumers. When the left increases taxes so the “”greedy oil companies pay their fare share” the single mom working two jobs pays $4 for gas instead of $2. Find a city run by the left and that’s where the most desperate are trapped. Unless they’ve been forced out by the elites.
Walmart stores are closing in my area, too. However, it has nothing to do with $15.00/hr wages because nobody here earns that!
I think they’re hiding their bad numbers.
If the workers had the right connections to the Obama administration, they could apply for a grant to create a worker-owned store. Doesn’t matter then if they make a profit or not, they would operate off of the guaranteed loan from the government indefinitely.

As a kid in NY they had automats. Not sure of spelling.
Put in your money open the little “mailbox door” and retrieve your food. Probably still have them.
But as a kid, it was great fun.
Almost as much fun as putting in 25 cents into a cigarette machine to get your parents a pack of cigarettes and matches at the bar.
Miss the good life. ;>)
