I know this is a radical idea but I believe that if we can, via technological and logistical improvements, eliminate the need for people to sit (or dog forbid stand, like in the US) at a till for 8 hours per day doing the menial task of ringing up items, then we should do that. Even if it comes at the cost of people sometimes having to wait a couple of minutes in line.

People still need to earn money, though. You advocate for all cashiers to lose their job. (I have been a cashier in an electronics store and loved the task, minus the customer relations.)
