I value my time, and I get out faster via self checkout, tablets at restaurants, etc. Got out of Shop Rite after getting 12 items in under ten minutes tonight. I can't wait until restaurant tablets are the norm, and until RFID replaces self checkouts.
Maybe you value your time a little too much and don't stop to enjoy the pleasures of life. I would never go to a restaurant that has tablets. It's no different from going to a fast food restaurant. To each their own though.

I have too little time, and plenty of interaction so I do not need more at a restaurant or store. I want to minimize the time spent as much as I can, so I adore these technological gains.
Not really. You blame it on government, I blame it on technology. Jobs are just not there like they used to be. So how do we help these people who have been replaced by technology.
There aren't as many "good jobs", or "high-paying jobs", but there are "jobs".
Lets understand that, an economy is built on a "division of labor". You only buy goods from someone else, if that person can make them more efficiently than you(IE cheaper), or at a higher-quality than you.
Basically, if you were earning $20 an hour, and it would take you an hour to complete some task. You would only hire someone else to do it, if they offered to work for less than $20 an hour.
This is why we have basically a "trickle-down" economic system. The system is designed to provide large amounts of capital for those at "the top", who will buy luxury goods from the upper-middle-class. And the upper-middle-class will buy goods/services produced by the middle-class, who will buy goods and services from the poor(IE minimum-wage workers).
If your goal is to "grow the economy". Then you want to encourage people to buy as many goods and services from each other as possible. But at the same time, you don't want stagnant wages, because stagnant wages would lead to stagnant growth.
Or in short, unemployment has less to do with simple market forces. It is almost entirely the result of government/monetary policy.

So don't go to a restaurant. Eat at home or go to a vending machine if your time is so valuable. But I love to go to different restaurants....have a glass of wine and enjoy being with friends. And I want contact with a human. To not want that is weird to me

No I will do as I please, not as you please. I will enjoy the spread of technology and do frequent already many restaurants (some non chain) who have added tablets for ordering.
I enjoy going with friends to dine, to be with them, not with wait staff. I dine out at minimum 5 nights per week, though, so I also look to save time.

And do you like tablets because you don't have to tip or have to interact with the staff. Honestly, I love the staff. We always sit at the bar and get free drinks because we are there so often at many of these restaurants. Do tablets do that for you.

That is fine, some people like dealing with machines and some prefer to deal with actual humans. I prefer humans over machines.
It's minimum wage for a reason. 15 dollars is way to high!
Not really, 15/hr isn't a high paying job anywhere you live these days.
