Are you concerned that suddenly, no one would man the phones?
These people will find that they suddenly live a much better quality of life.
Some people will decide they want a quality of life even higher. With a lack of skills elsewhere, they may choose to continue their work, making $9/hr more than they would on UBI alone.
If you think that no one would do this, if they could live on $9/hr before (even meager, miserly conditions), it would be the equivalent of erasing their previous cost of living with some cash on the side. Yes, they wouldn't work the same soul crushing job they had before. We'll see equally huge shifts in how we work, and how much is automated.
For some people who didn't, perhaps they would now have the critical need to work remove and go to college, and develop those marketable or degree level skills and contribute far more.
