I suspect it's only a matter of time before there is a bunch of people that go in and empty the place out. Unfortunately, you can get rid of cashiers but you can never get rid of security.

BTW, if you ever wonder what jobs will survive the coming automation era then look into security. Jobs in security will never go away. They will change but they will never go away.

I think "emptying the place out" is probably unlikely. They still have people that work there. But I think it's probable that there will be times when someone finds a clever new way to lift items without paying. I can't imagine things like that will be difficult to quickly stop.
