Minimum wage earners!! Look out here come the "Botlr"!!

His (or her?) name; A.L.O. pronounced "el-oh", the hotels' first Botlr (short of robotic butler.)

Look out Rosie the Robot, Starwood Hotels' Aloft brand has a taskmaster of its own.

His (or her?) name; A.L.O. pronounced "el-oh", the hotels' first Botlr (short of robotic butler.) Standing just under 3 feet tall, A.L.O. comes dressed in a vinyl-collared butler uniform and will soon be on call all day and night to fulfill requests from guests.

Forget your toothpaste? Need more towels? How about a late-night chocolate bar? All guests of the hotel have to do is call the front desk, where staff will load up the Botlr with requested items, punch in the guest's room number and send it off to make the delivery, navigating hallways and even call for the elevator using Wi-Fi.
At the Aloft in Cupertino, California, A.L.O is being fine-tuned for the Aug. 20 official launch of this pilot program. If successful, the Botlrs will appear in nearly 100 properties. Brian McGuinness, senior vice president for the Aloft brand, said he could see having one or two Botlrs in each Aloft hotel. "I think there is a chance that this could go enterprise-wide based on a successful pilot," he said.

According to a study done at the University of Oxford, 47 percent of U.S. employment is at risk of being replaced by computerization, but Starwood says these robots are not intended to replace any employees.
Robots 'invade' Starwood Hotels

YUP... of the 3.3 million minimum wage earners how many will be replaced as the "Botlrs" work at NO WAGE!
Raise minimum to $10.80 and now you have maids replaced, hamburger flippers... half of these minimum wage between 16 to 19 years
are the targets because the raising of minimum wage by 30% makes business bankruptcy... so...
Replace these employees with Botlrs!

 

[Indeependent]

What's the big deal?
Remember when people had to go to a theater to watch a movie in what is today's Hi-Def?
Knee-jerk Conservatives act like every technological achievement purpose is to screw someone.
On Long Island, traffic cops are quickly becoming a thing of the past.
Pretty soon, your freedom to speed will be gone.

Since this automation is going to replace people working at the CURRENT minimum wage, keeping the minimum wage where it is won't save their jobs.

Robot Serves Up 360 Hamburgers Per Hour | Singularity Hub

Burger joynts will soon be nearly staff free. You will probably enter your items into a machine, then pay the machine, your food will be entirely good cook by a machine and then served to you by a machine. There will be probably a tech person/manager person or two on hand to handle everything, but these joynts might be nearly void of human staff.

I won't doubt you have robots cleaning the floors and taking out the trash!

ONCE again people like you show such a LACK of business cost analysis is truly abysmal!
Minimum wage is fine where it is for the 3.3 million of which half are entry level, hamburger flipping jobs.
But when a 30% increase being outrageous make replacing a low skilled that would cost $21,600 a year (2,000 hrs X $10.80)
with a robot costing one time of $10,000 and on going of less then $1,000... NO brainer!

See Robot over 10 years cost employer nearly as much as ONE year for one $10.80 employee..

A revolutionary idea. But will the machines speak Spanish?

Better question, with the way this country is going, will it speak English!

Why do people apply for minimum wage jobs? How about a concerted effort to leave them unfilled... make it difficult for the business owner to find help. That would be fun to watch.

NOW I know someone who SHOULD apply! YOU!!!!!
Obviously you think minimum wage jobs are too complicated for you to handle?

WAKE UP idiot!
These jobs are generally low skill required. Just be on time. And be there every day is the first requirement!
They are called "entry level" because most people that have NO SKILLS to market have to start somewhere idiot!

You just posted a huge reason to get a college degree. Sorry, I would never lower myself to the point where I make 7 something an hour to make some sleazy owner his profit. The real world doesn't have to work this way.

Minimum wage = minimum effort. You pay me more, I produce more. Pretty simple math.

The Robot wins over anyone making more than what,

about $4.00 an hour?

Less?

You don't know what you're talking about as usual.

I think the point is minimum wage earners are becoming valueless as workers. Unskilled labor is going to be going extinct in the first world nations as automation takes over those jobs.

Soon you will have a landscaper who is very well paid, and has one, maybe two guys under him who are likewise paid well and they will put all of the physical laborers out of business.

Dream on......The robotics industry has been taking skilled workers jobs..

Or religious indoctrination schools for low wage earners and slow readers..

You Liberals want a minimum wage? You got it!! Right out the door!!

Actually, over 70% of Americans want the minimum wage raised. So, knowing that liberals do not make up 70% of the population, there must be moderates and conservatives that want the minimum wage raised.
I'm pretty sure most working Americans are getting tired of three decades of flat wage growth. Working Americans made more in 1979 than they are making now according to the Department of Labor in Real Dollars. Since typically raising the minimum wage has a ripple effect, those who are making more than the minimum wage would see their wages raised also.
So understanding the plight of the working class, the GOP is doing everything they can do to stop the increase of the minimum wage. Good play! Way to stand up against the working class!
Is this an election year?

Wait, I don't speed as it is. Is this yet another thing I should be doing before it's too late?

The real math is even simpler. You produce as desired, or someone else will be doing the producing. Is that simple enough for you?
