Compose a persuasive response (minimum 500 words) that specifically addresses Kauffman’s report that “Zume and other restaurants have been able to save money by hiring more robots and fewer workers . . . .”
In your essay response, also provide your opinion about “a number of other establishments, including Olive Garden and Buffalo Wild Wings” that are “virtually eliminating the need for humans at the counter.”
Agree or disagree with the types of changes businesses are making in their practices, but in your essay take a firm stand on the issue of whether robotic workers are good or bad for America’s economy and its labor market. 
Keep in mind that some human worker (at this point) must provide maintenance for the robots.

One direct quotation is required from each source used, but the accumulative lines of direct quotations in the essay may not exceed ten. The direct quotations used must be a minimum of two lines of text each. REMINDER: Direct quotations are enclosed with quotation marks. The only exception is long quotations (over four lines of text) which require special formatting. View the example of quotation mark use below, which also includes the in-text citation.
