If it eases your mind any, in most cases the person you see refilling the machine owns that and many other similar machines and is likely doing quite well for himself. Depending where you live he may also be an active member of organized crime as well!

But getting back to the article, yes, Japan is rife with redundant and inefficient jobs, but it keeps the population working. Those guys directing people into garages, for example.
