Then you will pay higher prices.

I load garden shit at Lowe's. Sometimes we get blown out and people bitch for faster service. OK. We can always hire more people, any given business' top expense. Then we charge more. Then the customer bitches about prices and goes to Home Depot. Where they don't have as much staff. Rinse and repeat.

I want ~~shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less~~ to pay more to compensate actual human beings doing actual work and I'm not kidding.

Banks had no problem slapping a "Teller transaction" fee on withdrawals when ATMs became ubiquitous, to encourage people to use the ATM for free.

That fee is outside my experience. Was that a short-lived thing? Never heard of it, certainly never saw it or heard anyone complain. Weird.

ATMs are not cost free. They're not merely a kiosk. You have to pay armed men to load/unload them. And not any dude with a pistol will do. I imagine the background check is damned exclusionary.

And then there's the networking, video and storage, upkeep and updates, all that, it goes on. But of course that still tallies a lower cost than a human, or they wouldn't do it!
