A hot job would be service industry robot salesperson.

Also robot repair person.

Well, if machines put people out of work, people have to live somehow.

that is how we have self service refill soda.

It is less expensive to offer soda that way than to hire people to actually work and pay benefits and pay taxes on the extra staff.

It was not just one person who lost their job last go around. It was four. One for each shift and a spare. Add more if 24 hours.

At least the quality of service would improve in most cases.
