McDonalds has tech support now. This is just turning the touch screen around so the customer can handle it themselves. But let's assume your right. I work in tech support so we'll do the math at $15/hour (I'm not going to talk hardware investment at this point since this stuff will be made by the lowest bidder in China anyway) New tech jobs per store = 1 x $30/hr Cashier jobs per store = -5 x $15/hr Net savings in store = $45/hr (and that is assuming a tech person is working PER store which is highly unlikely) I understand the desire for a living wage, I don't understand why it is often thought that increasing wages will not affect employment numbers at relatively lower skilled jobs.

Clever...very clever. - Comment on I can't remember the name of this book series... (2013-04-22 13:34:32)
Good to know all my useless knowledge payed off, lol. I think the panama story was City of Fear. There are six books in the set. The fifth and the sixth were the hardest to track down, but I think you can get them on Amazon for about $4-$5 each. A great set of books! - Comment on I can't remember the name of this book series... (2013-04-21 03:55:36)
On the off chance I am right...I decided to register. The description I recall about the panama canal was how the water levels were so different between the two oceans it formed a waterfall after the blast. I also remember there was a second sub that was stalking them, but this may have been in one of the other books.
