Elizabeth Warren out of race

[Fireball]

You're all over the board OLB.  Do I sound like a person who thinks that a minimum wage works...or a UBI?  No, ofc not.  It's still a fact that the minimum wage exists, and minimum wage employers would not be able to drop their wages..below...wait for it..minimum wage.  

I suppose they could shaft their higher paid workers, and hope to be able to compete with other employers while shafting them - but here again I see bad at business.  

Self checkout lines aren't automation. They're just getting you, a real human being, to do hourly work for free.  Still waiting to see the prices for groceries come down....

My appologies. I.guess I misunderstood your stance on the subject.

I refuse to use "self check out" - unless the store is willing to pay me an hourly for hassling with it.


So far no takers.

Not that I encourage it, but it's an easy way to steal, simply by scanning a lower value item and bagging the more expensive item. My son works in retail, and that's what's happening. When there are 4 self serve check stands and it's busy, no way that the one employee can verify that the goods are being properly paid for. People make off with thousands of dollars in merchandise every week, just at his store.
