LOL...ah, while I can appreciate the efficiency automation would bring to many industries, robotic servers ain't gonna do it for me. The only bright side would be one would be spared having to tip, but I'd rather continue our tipping culture in return for human service. While I know very little about restaurant wages, I'd imagine a server in a nice restaurant would earn about $500 per night in tips? All things considered, that's not a bad living, in my view.
By the way, was watching Chairman Powell's testimony this morning, and when asked if eliminating unemployment benefits would increase labor participation, he replied that it was too early to tell.
