    Once again and just like Walmart, Starbucks didn't NEED the tax bill to do this.

    tomorrow's headline: Starbucks closes 100 stores, thousands lose their jobs

    I read the WalMart bonuses went to middle management by seniority.  Hourly grunts didn't see a dime.

    I just recently saw the new Starbucks app, where you just load money onto your account, order whatever you want via the app, and then walk in and pick it up ... So it seems like they will definitely be able to fire a lot of their cashiers pretty soon.

    but don't all the cashiers pull double duty of taking the money and making the coffee? not a big starbucks guy, but the few times I've been in there, the cashiers don't just stand there like they do at Tim's.

    If someone doesn't have to man the register and take orders anymore or nearly as much, then they don't need as much staff in any case. So whether they switch back and forth or just man the register or whatever, people are going to lose jobs. Less required manpower = fewer workers.

    k, but "a lot" might be a stretch though. I don't know. depends how their structure works.

    I figure it would allow them to cut one person from every shift.

    The full bonus of $2,000 only went to those employees with 20+ years of service. Imagine working at WalMart for 20+ years as a greeter, cashier or sales associate. Of their thousands of employees in these categories, I'm willing to bet that not many have 20+ years of continuous service. The other thing is, once these folks use the bonus to pay down their debt or a one time splurge, the effect on the long run economy will be marginal at best. Kind of like Bush's tax cuts where the average person got $500 back. We saw how that turned out.

    look at all those "wal-mart" states. coincidently mostly red states. their people are broke and on medicaid and public assistance, funded by blue states. maybe if wal mart was not the biggest employer in those states, they people would not be a poor??

    As she should. The marriage is and always has been a sham. Let's not pretend that this was a whirlwind romance between two young 'real happening' people. This was an arrangement struck between a slimy, old, orange man with saggy boobs and a beautiful young woman attracted to the old man's wealth.

    Trump's affairs mean nothing to me. Everybody knew what type of guy he was before the US elected him as their president.

    She can’t stand him it’s so obvious she knows he’s been banging other women all along , she will just keep on swallowing...

    As she should. The marriage is and always has been a sham. Let's not pretend that this was a whirlwind romance between two young 'real happening' people. This was an arrangement struck between a slimy, old, orange man with saggy boobs and a beautiful young woman attracted to the old man's wealth.

    Trump's affairs mean nothing to me. Everybody knew what type of guy he was before the US elected him as their president.
    Don’t you just love how the evangelical leadership gives him a pass though? Hypocrisy at its finest.

    Speaking of putting cashiers out of jobs...

    Yesterday, after Amazon Go's debut, Jeff Bezos gained $2.8 billion.  Amazon Go is tehcnology that pretty much makes cashiers obsolete.  You log into the app, go into the store, pick up your items and leave.

    So, one guy in one day made more than probably all cashiers in the US combined in a whole year.. for introducing software that takes their jobs away.

    This is what class warfare looks like.

    Class warfare? This is what progress looks like, and people are naive if they think we have a moral obligation to disallow progress. Automation, machine learning, and AI are here to stay and getting stronger, and people would be well-served to acknowledge this reality and pivot to industries which support it, rather than denying this reality and complaining. For the record, this includes all people, not just pure production jobs.

    No.

    I just wanted to speak to the reality of Donald's 'marriage' and the reality of his character. He was elected 'as is'- a slimy old rich man with no moral compass... knowing full well that's what he was. The US got what it asked for.

    And the 'hypocritical evangelicals' will always twist or ignore things to try and maintain their dignity. This is part of the SOP for that bunch of fools.

    I agree. This is why we are going to have guaranteed income in the coming decades. There will be far more people than jobs. Conservatives heads will exploded at the idea of people making money for doing nothing, but that will be the future.

    Technology and progress, yes.  But it's still class warfare.  Nobody gets any fucking money if one guy gets it all.

    Yes, the system is broken when one guy can earn that much money but I wouldn't call this particular situation class warfare. Bezos hasn't taken those jobs away. I don't see the conflict yet, but will it lead to class war in the future? Probably. Other companies like Walmart are sure to follow this model, then shit will hit the fan if we aren't prepared for it.
