Who could have predicted something like this? Oh yes, everyone not a far left SJW more concerned with feeling good than actually DOING good.
How much do you want to bet that the CEO of Red Robin is a registered Republican and Trump voter???

restaurants have been cutting costs for years, and many have eliminated busboy positions, and went to having the servers clear the tables. why pay two people to do the basically same job? in addition it gest teh servers moving around the floor much more than they do when they have a busboy clearing tables.

so this is nothing new.

So, to be clear: when a corporation gives out bonuses under Trump it is "because of Trump's economy and his tax cut."

We'll ignore the fact he inherited this economic recovery from Obama and has done nothing to contribute to it.

But when a corporation cuts jobs under Trump's rule, it is "because of dirty liberals."

The partisan lunacy is just so laughably obvious. There's a reason the OP is on my ignore list, but this one was just too absurd to pass up. Two-faced, right-wing hypocrisy at its finest.

At 7 million a year, I'd be shocked otherwise:

RRGB Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc Executive Compensation

Not exactly the type who's going to care about the working class.

In all fairness the company does not blame minimum wage increases for the change. Daily Wire added their own opinion to it.

Although most locations are on the west coast and most west coast states have raised minimum wages.

Red Robin customers: are you concerned service might get slower, tables not as clean? Surprise: wages are going up in the industry. You can set the minimum wage real low, but you can't always force people to work that cheap.

Red Robin is one of my least favorite chains and it's been a decade since I set foot into one.
Overpriced food, for one thing.
So without the busboys, are they going to just leave the dishes siting around?

NO.

Kiosks cut down on waitress time writing orders = time to clean tables.

Chilis used same M.O.

All that is going to do is slow down their service. A waitress/waiter can only do so much. .
Kiosk ordering gives waitresses lots of time to clean tables.
