Tough story. Perhaps the solution is that in the near future a convenience store will be operated by a ROBOTIC checkout clerk and a ROBOTIC stocking clerk. Perhaps no cash will be used, with every transaction by credit card in the future.
.....It's a problem needing a solution. I am sure that smart people are working on it. I saw somewhere that McDonalds was experimenting with stores without workers, 100% robotic.
