You still need loaders, drivers, retailers to get anything to the customer. A lot of rich ski and holiday towns can't staff the stores and Cafe's, because the employees can't afford to pay rent in the same towns, so they face a similar issue...
Amazon is already testing robotic loaders, self driving trucks are already in development, and vending machines retail everything in Japan.
Maybe, but there are still a lot of invisible people involved to get the food all the way to your table. And small suppliers cannot afford to switch their whole operation to robots.
Yeah so they go out of business lol
