Like it or not, those jobs are on the way out. Every supermarket around here has self service checkouts already, it's just a matter of time before something like this comes in. I don't like it, for the reasons you outline. I think we'll lose something. I'm especially thinking of old people who might be living alone and see their shopping trip as an opportunity for social interaction. Unfortunately that's the way things are going though.
