That is the key point here. Use them to replace the express lanes but dont replace all checkout points with them.
Now that is bullshit... how can it cost more to have someone spend part of their time to help a customer when they have a problem vs having an extra person help them full time during checkout.
WTH... I really don't understand why this person hates them so much. Seems to have some hidden agenda but I cannot for the life of me tell what it is.
The #1 argument against any sort of automation is that it replaced workers and concentrates wealth for the few; increasing wealth inequality.
If we lived in a society with strong safeguards, redistribution of wealth, and economic mobility, most of the people who currently oppose automation would not.
