> As for removing retail jobs, Amazon does hire a ton of people for every store to restock, answer questions, prepare deli foods, etc. So the jobs are likely moving to different parts of the store.

Is it fair to say that you are making the claim that there is no net decrease in labor hours when compared to a similar store that does staff cashiers?

Just a guess - but a more efficient shop will sell stuff faster and then need more people to up-keep.
