The point is............push belly button costs up, automation will take over.
May not be an elimination, jus a reduction of bodies.
Jus look at the UAW.

Don’t forget McDonalds. California has signed a new law bumping up minimum wage to $20 per hour next year for fast food workers, and McDonalds quickly indicated that they will have to look at additional work process efficiencies with their owner operators. Certainly less people will have jobs. I would not be surprised if the old walk up window is brought back and the inside seating closed to further reduce bodies at $20 per hour.
