    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.
