Blame the unemployedWe're going to have a serious problem in society as this technology proliferates. What are they going to do about all the unemployment?
Naw but seriously its a tricky situation.

This is actually a perfect example of the minimum wage causing unemployment. If we had no minimum wage, Panera could pay some workers 3 dollars an hour to do what the machine does. It's simple economics. If only we used our heads and just let the market take care of it.
The rich already own the majority of the world's assets, so imagine what happens when they largely eliminate the need for a large workforce because they own the means of production (robotics). They'll need an intellectual class to maintain the robots, and this class will essentially be the middle class. The real question is, "What happens to those people who are not intellectually suited to take on such endeavors?"
Theoretically, you'd like to think that the proliferation of robots would lead to a lifestyle of leisure for the masses, but knowing the rich, it'd likely lead to wealth hoarding while creating an extremely large 'underprivileged' class.

This shyt needs to stop before it gets any further. These robots are gonna take over and ruin everything.
I like self check out. I'd rather scan and bag my own groceries than tell a stranger my life story. That's one thing I miss about NYC. Clerks knew how to keep it moving
Right, because its not like you dont touch the bags the clerk touched, who touched all your food as well as everyone else who came to their line, or you dont touch the money or credit card machine, which either the clerk touched, or everyone else in the clerk's line touchedI hope you like MERS
