I see these in Sweden. Self-serving checkouts are booming here too. Personally I hate them, it's the same masturbatory horror as with VR goggles. But the tech will improve and become more seamless I'm sure. And human interaction will become a luxury. The fancy stores still hold on to their cashiers, I've noticed. Gradually they will become the experts, connoisseurs, who will help and guide you with your more involved questions, or if you're just high out of your mind or whatever. "What burger works with my French Cabernet Sauvignon?"
So the article lifts an interesting point. The low-competence trainee entry will disappear, meanwhile perhaps a greater demand for expertise than ever before will arise. How will the training occur?
