Same dynamic at Wal-Mart and other cut-rate establishments. Most of us visit Wal-Mart from time to time by choice. But for some people it is the ONLY choice, and those establishments are going more and more toward automated services. Most Wal-marts now have far more automated checkout stations than they have live checkout clerks.
What good is a $15 minimum wage if you’re not working at all? Again, answer is obvious.
