Baristas also deserve to be hand fed by an influencer looking to make 5 trillion views from charity porn.

    greeters at grocery stores. cashiers. you can basically just have one person make sure that people use terminals correctly, essentially cutting the employment needs for a store by like 20/1. theft from using terminals wrong is negligible in comparison to profits from saved labor in that system. some things, like uber eats and pizza delivery, are only a thing because everything is so spread out that people dont want to drive an hour to go somewhere. if you make grabbing food a short walk it no longer exists. a lot of service jobs can be based around navigating bureaucracies and middle men. car salesmen or real estate agents, for example. these can be gone with systemic changes.

        there are a handful of jobs that you probably can't automate at our current level of development of course. kitchen staff, cleaning staff. youre gonna need these no matter what. robots can make those jobs easier right now but it doesnt get rid of them. customer service is also likely unavoidable, though a lot of it can be automated with a sophisticated enough robotic q&a. some people claim transportation industry is also a service industry, if that were the case you could just invest heavily in trains and cut something like 3 million jobs from tractor trailer drivers if you have good infrastructure set up.
