@Charles_in_Charge @Shadowman311 When the cash register became a standard fixture in the marketplace, shop owners were astounded at how much embezzlement and loss had been taking place all along.
I'm expecting the same out of robots. No nigger drama, shouting, fighting, the 'bot can always be blamed without issue, no risks of theft, harassment lawsuits, chimpouts.
And since they won't buy them outright, just least them for, say, $2,500 a month for a 7-day 8-hour shift with a basic featureset, with pricing scaling with uptime and complexity, what do they have to gain, when the only human employees they can hire are so worthless?
(i was going to find one of the sheboon whining about how they fired her for pocketing $100 and bragging online but this will suffice)
