A grocery clerk in Denver asked me if AI was going to take his register job
I was checking out at a King Soopers last Thursday and the guy scanning my stuff, Marcus maybe 60 years old, pointed at the self-checkout kiosks and said, "You think they'll keep me when those things get smarter?" I told him I didn't know, but it stuck with me all evening. He wasn't mad or scared, just tired, like he'd been thinking about it for months. I looked it up later and found that grocery chains have already cut front-end hours by about 15% in the last two years, mostly in cities like Denver. He's got 20 years of knowing where every item goes and how to calm down a customer whose card won't swipe. Has anyone else had a real conversation like this with a worker who's actually worried, not just reading headlines?
