None of that is an employer’s business or problem. That’s all up to the responsible ADULT to either figure out how to make it work, take a second job, or add value by way of training, schooling, etc.This newfound “I need $20/hour to push this broom cuz rent/car payment” is complete and utter Bullshit. Theres both a Walmart and a McDonalds in my area now without a single counter/register person. ALL automated kiosks.
