Yes, it was going to happen. Why? Because having to check out is a bad user experience.
I do not want to wait in line at the store. I also do not want to wait for the waitress to bring my check, take my card, and bring back my check?
Does this mean that people must go unemployed? Not really the staff can be used to keep the shelves stocked, the store clean, and help customers find products.
As to complaints that the minimum wage is not enough to raise a family? You are right it is not and was never meant to be. You are supposed to make minimum wage when you are in school or if you have no skills. It is supposed to be enough for one person to survive on or to supplement a spouses income. Frankly, the service that I get from minimum wage workers is already so bad that I do not see the point in increasing it.
