Even Japan, a country fairly famous for overemploying people, is doing this. Hotels - self-service checkin, although you do at least speak to a human at the beginning, and if they're not busy they'll do the whole thing the old-fashioned way Convenience stores / supermarkets - self-service registers, or self-service payment Karaoke - self-service sign in and payment, even ordered a beer and was told to open the door, a robot was waiting outside with a beer balanced on its head. Izakaya - sit down, use a tablet to order everything I have mixed feelings about it, in the UK I want everything automated, but in Japan their service is so good that I find myself missing it.
