Awesome for consumers, terrible in the short term for employment prospects until those workers find new jobs elsewhere as robot technicians :)

I'm afraid that if they were qualified to wait robots, they wouldn't have to work in order picking.

There was an article on where people replaced by automation move jobwise. I think that they ended in jobs requiring lower qualification than before.

I'll try to find a link.

A search of the browsing history didn't turn up anything, unfortunately.
