I read the WalMart bonuses went to middle management by seniority. Hourly grunts didn't see a dime.
they didn't want to give out all those bonuses to just turn around and see all that extra money being spent in Mexico! only white people in middle management ya know!By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -

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.CM189191 said:HesCalledDyer said:

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.PJ_Soul said:

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.HughFreakingDillon said:

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

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.CM189191 said:HesCalledDyer said:

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.

Everything Donald and Melania Trump Have Said About Their Marriage Through the Years - People https://apple.news/A4i1CfLyqQhCTXkLj4ONVpQ
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.

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.HesCalledDyer said:Speaking of putting cashiers out of jobs...
