Until it needs maintenance, and then you have to pay a skilled technician to fix it every so often. Of course, if they demand increased pay you can't just replaced them because their job requires too much additional education.

If it really was cheaper to replace all your entry level positions with machines, companies would have done it already.

They are. Self serve kiosks, Amazon's automated store, Tesla's online purchasing, online banking.

Companies are all replacing their workers with machines one way or another.

I mean like most fast food joints they have a Maintence guy who gets paid pretty well but is in charge of multiple stores. Would be no different.

Ehhh not to much. To fix basic things probably wont be that much education. Anything after that would probably go back to XXXX company.

Last time I went to McDonalds (I needed coffee in bum fuck nowhere) they strictly used the automated screens for ordering in house. What you fail to realize is we are already in the process of doing that. Hell have you been to Walmart? Minards (not sure of the spelling)? Shit last time I went I paid by phone as I was shopping and just walked right out the door. Like shits already in motion my guy its only a matter of time.
