Walmart Officials Plan To Cut Thousands Of Jobs Through Store Closures, Automation - Walmart credited the tax plan for its recent bonuses and pay increases, while at the same time quietly planning to eliminate stores and create facilities that have no cashiers.

No no it’s ok! Our issues are specific to the Arizona desert, our particular water source, and our type of business which has a high traffic of new people and large RVs and a lot of people don’t know what they are doing. A combination of all these factors, plus the cost of paying someone to fix/replace/install automatic waterers, plus the price of the waterers, the fact we are in the middle of nowhere desert and getting new supplies is a long and large hassle...our water tower will go empty of any auto waterer busts, is run over (extremely often), left to run is terrible and drains from hundreds of people...I can go on and on and on as to why the simple solution of ‘human eyes’ is just the best solution. I cannot not do I want to pay to lay pipe or anything else to over 30 acres of desert. When I can easily barter rent for watering and not have to outlay any money at all. Plus the people I put in that role are also gardening lovers and always love to help their community...they get personal satisfaction, free rent and utilities, also act as look outs for bad behavior or people who need help with anything...there are just so many net positives, after exploring and going down so many different avenues, we found the best solution and are happy with it! That’s all I was trying to say- this is a job that unquestionably is a human role.
