Having less to no employees doesn't mean they will transfer the money savings to us. The proof is in the fact that we have progressed so far with tech and machinery, yet we work the same 40 hours a week (or more) and wages have stagnated

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

Median incomes adjusted for inflation in 2019 was $36,426. In 1981 it was $23,382. Medina incomes did go up -- wages might not have gone up much because incomes are being measured as total incomes which includes regular wages + bonus + additional benefits. People are just getting paid more and more wit bonuses and other benefits such as 401k, etc.

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

So you and many others are Luddites. Same argument was said when technology replaced many farm workers and all we got in return was a drop from 90% working in agriculuture to 2% working in agriculture and 10x higher ag output.

@@Homer-OJ-Simpson thats an overly simplistic way to look at it considering the privatization of most industries and how different industries lose or increase in value due to many factors. Stop acting like you understand the economics of capitalism, when your entire generalization of the system is the complete opposite of how it’s suppose to function.

[@lucasvg8625]

Companies don't pay what they want, they pay what they can. If you don't have enough money, it's because you have plenty of state. You have no idea the tax hell to which the state mafia subjects them, nor how much they have to pay for each employer, that's why in each state and country what they earn for the same job is different. Find out a little about how the economy works before blaming the companies, slave of the state.

I agree. Shareholders have to be pleased. It's apart of the corporate system. The investment system expects growth even though in theory the intrinsic value of money doesn't increase. Capitalism is not perfect and will eventually run into problems.

Maybe they can start paying people to be entertainers, product experts or something to allow people who want to work in Starbucks to still do that work. Therefore, no one is obliged to work at Starbucks, but for anyone who happens to want to work there, they have that opportunity.

The extra money they make from paying for less workers will go into the pockets of the CEOs and share holders. They won't pass the savings on to the consumer. It's cute that you think that. Also, capitalism doesn't have to mean making the most for CEOs and share holders and kicking workers to the curb.

[@escape2064]

​@@OneFreeMan17 Hello! It's been over a year and if you're interested, I no longer work at Starbucks. I know shocking. Looking back it's possible I just read the title of the video without actually watching thefull video before deciding to leave a comment. I have a habit of doing that sometimes, or a lot. I thought Starbucks was replacing humans (employees) with robots or something. After re watching the video I see that they still have employees. It's no different than your average Starbucks except it charges you automatically when you take an item off the shelf. Which, I guess is cool but you still have to wait for your drink to be made by a person anyways. Also sometimes people want to pick something up and examine it before deciding to purchase it, or maybe it somehow only charges them for consuming it? Idk, they weren't exactly specific in the video. Either way I don't really care too much. It's not my company.

[@singaporenoodles7189]

I'm an introvert and I'm loving this new technology tbh

[@wizzy7000]

That's great but I prefer communicating when going to a Cafe or restaurant it spices up the atmosphere a bit for me when going to the cashier

[@ciaraoh9102]

You're not an introvert. You're antisocial. And, that can be quite dangerous to your mental health.

[@wwstop2050]

That’s because you are antisocial and I don’t mean that to offend you. You are replacing humans for machines. They are taking the human out of you and turning you into a robot and don’t even realize it and the next generation would be more indoctrinated

[@andrewondon]

This tech has been around in japan and China for years so it's great to see the trend coming to America and Europe now. Of course some will be less inclined about this due to the lack of human interaction.

[@arigutman]

This is like Amazon Go, I love to see it and the next step into the future... Also interesting to see the technology coming out during a time in which Starbucks is unionizing... In any event, happy to be a shareholder of such an iconic, money making powerhouse... Keep buying those mocha choca lattes so I can keep collecting these dividends - hits better than the coffees!

[@weatheronthe8s895]

As an introvert, even I don't like this. I'd rather just have a cashier who I can get whatever I want from. I never order more than a drink, but I prefer ordering even my drink with a cashier because of the perceived idea in my head that the cashier may know what is good better than I do since I am not someone who is truly well educated on coffee. I only drink Starbucks for the taste after all for the most part (and spending money at my school location). Plus most of the people working at my school location know me well enough to know my name and some know my regular order also. It feels like they know me better than some app ever would and as someone who doesnt have a lot of friends, being recognized by the employees does feel nice.

[@fuzzylogic949]

For me, this trend of not having anyone in a coffee shop is the same as making coffee at home, I will only waste more time and more money at a Starbucks. If I don't have at least one "Hello" or a "what will be" I won't put my feet in there It doesn't make sense to me sorry.

@@uptin at the same time, one farmer today has a way higher potential income than a pre industrial farmer, because his productivity increased drastically. But for service workers it is a reality that with downsizing, the workload and therefore productivity of the remaining employees increases, but compensation rarely gets improved and prices for the consumer certainly won't drop. This is why Unions are important, because companies will prevent a fair compensation in relation to productivity because they aim for absurd profit margins.
