ROCK 'EM, SOCK 'EM:

It shouldn't be any surprise to anyone with a slim understanding of economics that driving up costs for businesses means bad news for customers and employees alike. In terms of driving up wages by force, there were only two results that could follow. Either that business was going to have to lay off employees in order to afford their work force, or find a way to circumvent having employees in the first place.

In the case of the major fast food chain McDonald's, they took the latter path and rolled out a shiny new line of self-service machines that allow you to order your food without the need for employees at a register.
