Amazon uses lots of robots for their distribution centers -- they even purchased a robotics company and the subsidiary is called Amazon Robotics. I still think the major issue is trade agreements and the importation of foreign labor in using H1-B visas to replace STEM (think Disney and Abbott Pharma replacing their IT workers with H1-B visas) and H2-A and H2-B visas replacing blue collar workers. Do the numbers. The technology is sensationalizing. Although Amazon replacing Macy's is Internet automation and Robots in the warehouses.
