Robots Replace Workers at Walmart
The demand for higher minimum wages is running headlong into technology.

Walmart is going to replace many of the people who clean floors with robots. The machines will be rolling out in hundreds of stores.
Automation was coming, regardless. However, demands for higher wages may speed the change.
