With a full cart, a human would be faster as long as they aren't trash at being a cashier.

This isnt automation this is specialization and also have two people doing the work instead of 1.

When talking to a human, I can order what I want. But automation doesn't even allow it.

Again, not automation and youre just talking about a poor implementation of technology. I find I have greater levels of customization when ordering from apps/table kiosks/

I do. Mainly because these are things that affect me personally...

How people are personally affected is definitely important.

But let me mention a couple ways automation may have helped your personal life.
Lower cost of products.
Higher quality products.
Access to a wider variety of products.
It saves lives.

For example, do you play guitar? If you do, you may have noticed how guitars available to amateurs have changed throughout the years. Frets are now less sharp causing less finger pain and beginners to quit. Frets are more in place, not hanging off the edge. Pickups are better and more wound than in the past. Intonation is better. Action and bridges are set more properly. Body carves to fit your form, previously only found on high end guitars, are becoming standard on mid-ranged guitars. This just starts to touch how automation has improved a guitar in the past couple of decades.

Almost everything you touch is only possible in its current form through automation in ways you dont even know.
