Everyone complains about small businesses being driven out, especially in NYC. Their two biggest costs are rent and labor, so of course they try to minimize both of them.

    You know what's cheaper than hiring a cashier and teleconferencing them from the Philippines?

    The owner running the cash register. You know, like nearly every non-chain restaurant in the country.

    Owner could be the chef, it you know, might not want to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week
