@jeffowski Back in the day (like, early 20th century), all stores were full service. You'd give your list to the guy at the counter, he'd go through his stock and fill a bag with your goods and ring you up.

By the logic in the OP meme, just walking through the store and filling your cart is "killing jobs". But time moves forward.

Also, maybe we should consider whether these jobs are worth saving. Being a cashier sucks. You're treated like a machine anyway, at best. Let's get rid of all jobs like that and create more careers that are actually fulfilling.
