I’ve automated away plenty of jobs. Even had my own job automated once. People don’t get fired. Worst case is the company stops hiring, and lets “natural attrition” take over. Companies spend a lot of money hiring people, and good workers are hard to find. If you’re happy with an employee, and they would prefer to stay instead of find a new job, then you have a good match. Don’t mess with that.

What you are saying is true and no-one is foolish enough to think a minimum-wage job is "forever". But the thing is people think going to college and studying a lot with a big time investment to become a pharmacist is probably a long-term job. Now a pharmacist is basically a minimum-wage job, they are replaceable on demand by season and profitability. This doesn't bode well for a society when you rely on someone who then believes their job is disposable. Then there is that pesky anchor in the USA of health insurance tied to a job.
