[23:46:25] <exec> 08└─1. Yes. 2. It's not replacing the cashier's job. It's replacing fractions of human labor along with every other fast-food innovation. Between automated vending machines, robotic* food preparation and smart shelves and cameras for remote warehouse inventory management, there's a job or two you can cu...

Most of the discussion here is about fast food places, where you have to shout your order to the cashier over the roaring music, he mishears you, you mishear him, and you learn about it at the office, when you unwrap t...

It is usually not worth your time to go back and fix it. The last time I did it was because this larcenous prick had hopped onto someone else's unlocked...
