A robot didn't replace your cashier -- YOU replaced your cashier. You're doing the cashiers job, unpaid, using the exact same equipment.

I have seen this argument before and can't say whether this is meant as a joke. By the same logic you replaced your secretary (for type writer), your telephone operator, your travel agent and so on. In all these instances the experience is better and faster without another human present.

But the replacement is not a robot, it's just you using equipment that previously was accessible to specialized professionals only. The grocery store is the same kind of situation.
