The race to the bottom is the elimation of those jobs completely.

Today a store that used to have 5 cashiers needs 1 to monitor 5 self checkout stations.

Amazon and others are working on eliminating that final job...

They are also working on ways to fill the shelves with no human involvement, and robot shopping assistance that you can ask for help

we are probably less than 10 years away from the first retail store with no human employees, or at most 1 or 2 to monitor the robots

Let's not jizz ourselves over the loss of millions of retail jobs that won't be replaced any time soon. Not everyone can be a fullstack js ninja or thought leader in fidget spinners.
