I watched a self-checkout lane in my local grocery store go from one human cashier to six automated kiosks in under a year.

The manager told me it cut labor costs by 70% but I can't stop thinking about the five people who used to work that shift and where they are now, so has anyone else seen a job get completely replaced that fast?

It's wild how normal it's become to see machines where people used to be. Makes you wonder what's next.

Actually think it's the other way around... we got used to people where machines should be. Like cashiers doing robot work.
