I'll risk a top-level comment without reading the article at all, not even clicking, with my first opinion-response: humans are _very cheap_, _mindbogglingly cheap_ if you were born in Cambodia or Gods Forbid a place even worse off (no offense to Cambodians, we're all _born somewhere_). Before I even finished high-school I worked on a factory floor - via a temp agency no less - and was just like "why doesn't the machine also do that too, it's so dumb?". Went to a decent university and... understood. So. Much. Cheaper. Now I'm life-settings further by a bunch and it still bothers me "Machines will free us all to be the best we humans can be!". No. For many reasons though! So yeah, the Żabka / 7-11 employees will be there for a long time to come... ... Page me when Japan declares "no more convenience store human employees".
