I'm assuming this is not in Europe, where automated cash registries in grocery stores is more common every day. In Estonia lots of grocery stores have ~10 automatic registries and just 1 real human one. The automated one needs no human at all, and I'm sure soon even that 1 real human will no longer be needed. As for stealing stuff, well, that's cultural. Seems northern Europe has managed to be just fine automating all this stuff away, I'm sure the rest of the world will catch up eventually. We already have food delivery by robots (https://www.starship.xyz https://www.starship.xyz) here in Estonia, currently testing package delivery by robots as well, combine that with automated grocery store experiences, kiosks where buying things is also entirely automated, well, I really don't think low-touch, mind-numbing jobs are safe at all. Unless in places where the culture is holding the advancement back, but it surely isn't technology that does.
