This is a clever advertising scheme meant to increase revenue and nothing more.

It doesn't matter whether they care or not, they are getting the job done.

That's not really my point. I'm just saying don't make Domino's out to be some hero making life better in small town America or some such. I'm just pointing out that this is 100% profit motivated, and any "getting job[s] done" is a mere side effect.

To be fair, in America you can just spend the saved tax money on replacing your car with a light truck.
The roads of everywhere I have traveled in the USA (except you West VA) are splendidly awesome compared to the ones in Puerto Rico.

If being a "big government bureaucrat" means that you have non lead water pipes, then being a "big government bureaucrat" is good.
It's thanks to "big government bureaucrats" that I have an income,
What we need to do is update the minimum wage to give you more money so that you can fed yourself.

The problem is even if you raise the minimum wage, you'll probably only fuel automation like kiosks and self-checkouts.

Banning automation would only be harmful to profit margins and would almost certainly result in well-funded campaigns against sitting politicians. Funding is almost a certain measure of who will win by shifting independents and moderates.

Good, that's the nature of the thing. We get the potholes solved and they gain a good rep and more profit. Win win.
