It's sad, this could eventually be automated.
Now people have to waste their lives just manning checkouts.
You’re acting like the people who would be manning the checkouts would be able to live peacefully without a worry now that they don’t have a job as a cashier.
They should be able to get free education and training.
But more automation is always a good thing - more productivity and freedom.
Productivity is actually a bad thing, in the current economy increases in productivity has a positive correlation with increases in poverty. Look at how groceries are more expensive than ever while self-checkout only becomes more pervasive.
