At that point why even have a cashier? Just put a POS and have people swype to enter like a subway.

Because then you can’t show the world that you’re a piece of shit who enjoys exploiting cheap labor.

Sounds like they’ve already got a POS, just higher up on the org chart.

$3 is good pay over there, buys way more than our $3. Bet people are scrambling for those jobs. Good money when the daily min wage is $8-$10.

For example, my wife’s ex took her family and friends to the fanciest restaurant they could find. $120 (including tip) for 16 people.

Americans are the ones exploited here. McDonalds is pumping money out of the country and taking our jobs.

There’s a movie called Eurotrip. Its about 3 college aged kids taking a road trip through Europe.

I forget what country they get to, but it’s a run down mostly Indian country. They stay at a hotel, and the bell hop handles their bags. They try to give him a tip, but realize they only have like 17 cents. So he gives him a nickle, and says “Its not much, but maybe having some American money is novel.”

The bellhop is shocked. Made to look like he’s angry. So the bellhops boss is just walking by. This is after his interaction with the main characters are done. His boss starts yelling at him. And he yells “FUCK YOU! YOU SEE THIS??? I GOT A NICKLE!!! I OPEN MY OWN HOTEL!!!” And the boss is horrified. He says something like “For a nickle, that hotel will be the nicest in (whatever country they were in).”

Your comment reminds me of that scene.

Your take away here is that Americans are the real victims? If we are talking about countries, theres not many that have caused as much suffering and death as America. We just do it for money instead of religion.

America exploits the rest of the world, full stop.

Sometimes it’s nice if someone gets a job, and sometimes people like to talk to a person while they’re paying.

I would rather use a POS terminal than try to talk to someone over zoom with no headphones. If it’s not a human in person who can just say “hmmm the computer is broken here’s your sandwich” then it’s worse.
