Or almost NO EMPLOYEES. Amazon is the world’s best user of warehouse automation. How long before massive supermarket robotics begin appearing? Just try to avoid getting mowed down while you are shopping.

I have seen those robots in walmart already. Walmart and the like are going to massively cut their employee count, no doubt. The first deep recession after these retail robots are deployed could be really bad and make 2008-2009 look like a bull market.

I saw one of those robots at a stop and shop in Jersey. Clerk said all it could do right now is ring an alarm at the top of each hour.
