The same is true for taxi services, fast food, and cashiers...

We're moving to a point where all low-value jobs will be replaced by either self-service or automation.

The question is what happens to the people who filled those jobs?

I can recall working in retail as a HS student and observing some of the full time staff and wondering what the heck these people would do without their job as cashier, now 25 years later that same store has replaced most cashiers with self checkout. What happened to those people? What job do they have today?
