In that example, yes it would.

I don't agree with your premise. When Tesco had more cart stations, I used them. I use them in Asda because they aren't far from the car, but when they remove stations to cut jobs, they are the ones being rude.

I'm not in the US. We never had gas station attendants. I guess fuel theft was never the same issue here as in the States.

It's very hard to use bank tellers. Many branches got shut down. It was never really a thing in my lifetime.

It's very easy to accept situations when you don't see it change. You accept it as fact. Young folk just accept you don't have data privacy because it never really existed in their life time.

Supermarkets automate things or put the work onto customers not to pass those savings on to customers, but to increase their margins at the cost of peoples jobs. Some folk are just fine with that.

Many would welcome automation if the gains and benefits were shared around. But it isn't. The rich get richer and the unemployment line grows. The media train folk to hate the unemployed, like it was their choice their job was removed.

If the only way to keep a fairer wealth distribribution is to keep folk in jobs, so be it. We don't have basic income or a 4 day week yet.
