Hopefully cashiers are still employed for some other tasks in the company. But not necessarily so.

Companies exists to make money. If they can replace workers with machines they will do so. The fewer workers they employ the lower their costs of operations the higher their profits. It is not true they pass savings to customers, Daiso for example has raise their prices.

Technology helps to automate as much as possible. Driverless cars. Fully automated convenient shop that is unmanned.

Some will all this off saying "there will always be other jobs" no need to worry or prepare. This is a highly complacent response. Remember you cannot retrain a convenient store worker to be a doctor, he is suited for similar type of jobs and you many not produce enough of these.

Poverty has been rising in Singapore over the years as wages stay stagnant for a large number of workers. This trend will likely worsen in the coming years.

Cashier less means people can take the items out without paying? Only cctv can capture their masked faces.

I think Decathalon was already cashless since operating here. A couple of years ago I went there to buy yoga block and ended up using my card to help paying for a couple of maids who returned me with cash as they dun have the means to pay without cash. ....
