Retail is a major source of employment in America for those without technical skills. The increase in automation at the checkstand are forcing people out of one of the few jobs they can get. I like automation, but we need to do something for the middle aged mom/dad who is not likely to ever be trained to be a coder or technician. It is time for a universal basic income. Or they could just thieve from the robots to make ends meet.
