you say that as though that is a foregone conclusion, when there are multiple channels of adjustment available to employers

If anything, the trend will be a reversion to pre-Piggly-Wiggly, enabled by modern technology, where you just pick up your groceries after ordering them online.


i think a step further that will afford some role for employees.

grocery delivery is being embraced by costco et al

it's a tipped job that involves a worker walking through the store (future: through the warehouse) putting together your order then bringing it to you

it just needs a bit more logistics improvements to break the grocery store model with cashiers forever

and being a tipped job it can skirt min wage laws. people will pay the difference to the employee for the convenience of not giving up 2 hours of your life at the store
