    How many decades before the purchase, installation and testing costs of these robots are recouped vs. that $20/hour wage?

    Because I’m thinking it may not be all that cost-effective to just say “fuck you” to a minimum wage.

      I honestly think it’s more the principle of the matter… they’d rather invest in robots to do this than consider paying those they view beneath them anything remotely resembling a living wage.
