There is virtually no human contact in some fast food places in Japan. You place your order on the phone, use your credit card to pay and are given a box #. Proceed to you box number and your order awaits, inside.
Generally speaking, the Japanese culture take their garbage with them. One won’t find garbage cans on streets or subways.
They do use humans to disinfect table tops and seats, between diners.
And yet there are thousands of migrants fleeing unsafe conditions who would love nothing more than to take one of these jobs because they appreciate and value this country and it’s opportunities for those who want to take advantage of them. Let them work legally.
Oh please! They aren't fleeing "unsafe conditions". In fact, the vast majority have no valid claim of asylum. They don't "appreciate and value this country". America is nothing but a cash cow for them to exploit.
If they did take those jobs, wages would plummet because they are nothing to employers but cheap, exploitable, illegal labor.
Spent a few weeks in Ky and Tn in early June. The labor shortage was obvious.
One evening we dined at a TGIF. We dined early and outside. Waitress took out drink order and disappeared for 20 minutes. When she returned she told us the entire kitchen staff had quit. She also told us she was paid $2.30/ hr plus tips which are pooled, shared and taxable given most use CC to pay. And with that she announced she was quitting too.
We went inside to pay and no one was working.
People who quit are not eligible for Unemployment benefits.
Had a similar experience at a Waffle House. The cook was the only employee and comped our waffles/ coffee. We left him a big tip.

I support those would-be migrants taking whatever action is needed to change the dismal, oppressive conditions in their homeland.
What I don't support is a family headed by low/no-skilled workers hoping the fence so that their growing family can receive all sorts of benefits from various government entities and generally make themselves a useless dependency.
No. Would you want a machine to perform surgery on your heart or any ligament on your body? Your grandchildren will never see that. Talk of this automated burger flipper has been tossed about for years. Never happened.
Actually...it is happening now (regarding burger flippers):
Why cant this guy just do the job himself? That is really what you are suppose to do. Owning a business does not mean you sit on your hands.
Or perhaps, there is increase supply in available retail space, the prices dropped, and the people who he may have hired, and have gone into business for themselves.
I'm hiring for 3 positions, all paying between 2-3 times a $15 an hour yearly wage, with full benefits, tuition remission, and roughly 5 weeks PTO.
Quite a few of the people applying spent part of the past year getting additional qualifications to get out of retail or food service.
We told them that if they didn't want to work a low wage job to get skills and get out. They did. Or they flocked to retail or food service that offer better wage, tuition remission, and other forms of professional growth IN ADDITION TO backing staff over the POS public. It's very unfortunate for small businesses, but employees shouldn't have to sacrifice their own personal finance and growth for a business that doesn't invest in them.
