Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

If you’re thinking about buying or selling property in Marlborough (even a year or two away). What part of the process feels the most confusing or stressful for you?

I’ll leave the link in the comments for anyone who wants to have a look.
