Computer controlled pour has been tried - and due to technical problems - has failed miserably.<br /><br />As a career bartender - and occasional patron... IMO robot tenders/servers will NEVER catch fire in the real-world local bar scene. Maybe in bigger techie places (east and west coasts)? <br /><br />In my experience - REAL customers require/demand real (warm body) HUMAN contact... You know, someone to talk/complain/commiserated with : ) (just my take)Darahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612923804586600664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042042552998680556.post-85089475581451029512013-06-04T08:09:51.017-07:002013-06-04T08:09:51.017-07:00Hi LME,
Touche' on your analysis of this '...Hi LME,<br /><br />Touche' on your analysis of this 'article.' The 'right-winger' jab says it all. This guy is actively pushing, at the very least - a purely socialist agenda. Government will take care of you - and those 'evil' rich MUST pay for it.<br /><br />Unfortunately, this administration looks to be working to that (totally)unsustainable end with welfare, food stamps, disability, etc.<br /><br />This 'writer' is merely echoing Zero's excuse for the poor job market. 'ATM's and kiosks took your job.' they scream - instead of examining the REAL problem of government, cronyism, over-regulation and intervention stifling private entrepreneurship.<br /><br />Today is my 59th (hold applause please :)... old enough to remember the 'olden days' before all this 'new fangled' technology. <br /><br />I was also raised by my grandmother - who remembered the days before that. This was a woman who actually traveled around in a covered wagon, who - in her own lifetime - saw the implementation of commercial air travel.<br /><br />I remember black and white t.v. We had THREE stations that signed off at midnight - with a picture of the flag and the National Anthem.<br /><br />I owned a transistor radio (AM only). Our telephone had a dial - and a party line. You had to contact an operator to make a long distance call. <br /><br />Our cars were NOT equipped with seat belts (and Nevada had NO posted speed limit on the state highways).<br /><br />I was subjected to the first 'computer' designed to accommodate hotel/restaurant booking and billing - owned and operated by Caesar's Palace in Vegas. It occupied ONE ENTIRE FLOOR of the main building, and CRASHED repeatedly, especially on Sunday mornings - our busiest check-out time.<br /><br />As to why the writer offers no solution, that's because there IS NO problem. His premise is to invent a crisis - to facilitate MORE government intervention.<br /><br />Technology has been around since man first harnessed fire/invented the wheel. As every action has an equal but opposite re-action, more technology creates a need for more workers, for further invention. <br /><br />American ARE resourceful creatures - IF the government GETS OUT OF THE WAY.
