moderate skill job? It’s a low skill job that is being automated. This is just the beginning ... more automation on the way.

“moderate skill job? It’s a low skill job that is being automated.”

Compared to the self-check “monitor”?

Cashiers are always paid more than minimum wage (at least used to be). These “monitors” are minimum wage, I am sure. I am comparing what is being traded for what, not suggesting that cashiers run nuclear power plants.

FR is a funny place. “MAGA, but only if it’s cheap for me”. I get it. Memes about people who follow their phones around like zombies from people who say, “I hate checkout people, they’re rude!” and don’t want to interact with humans.

On-line is the ultimate in “automation”. Everyone works for UPS or FedEx and you never leave your house. As long as you only want cheap crap from China, you’re all set!
