I think ACA as well as the technology, COULD affect employee size. Obviously, you will need to have retail and fast food workers who will need to step in if the RFID and kiosks die on you. Technology isn't perfect and can have bugs that come up every once in a while.
Our local stores have 1 employee monitoring 4 self serves, and they have more than 4 fewer checkout lanes open versus before the machines were installed. So each store has dropped 3 positions per shift.
My local WM superstore has fewer cashiers at peak hours than the Kroger had 2 years ago, and Kroger has less than 1/2 the SKUs, and about 1/4 the traffic.

I have seen this too. I've seen some stores not have the traditional lanes open such as Home Depot.
I was more or less saying with the RFID at say fast food. Not all customers are bright, some never use it before (my family experienced this at Disney World with their new Be Our Guest restaurant and the kiosk to get special meals and everything) as well as other random issues during the process.
My mom use to know someone from high school who she stopped associating with in college. He'd apparently become a pimp after he dropped out of college, and worked as one for 10 years. He was lucky because he never got a criminal record. In his thirties he returned to the work-force and landed a government job. He's since retired with a comfortable nest egg not having answered for any of the numerous ( and I do mean numerous crimes) he committed over the span of a decade. I actually spoke to him recently, having tracked him down thanks to this techno age, since I was curious about his 'war stories'. I've done the same in speaking with quite a few vagrants. It's always interesting to speak with someone who grew up / lived a different world.
Anyway, the point is being a smooth talker can let you coast if you've got some smarts. The long-term unemployed should give some focus to learning how to speak with a sliver tongue.

There's one thing to know how to speak with a silver tongue, and it's another thing for people to actually buy it.
For example, let's say there's a sexy young woman and a middle-aged man both interviewing for the same administrative job where the hiring manager is a man. Both candidates can probably say the exact same thing to the hiring manager in an interview, but simply because of her sex appeal, what's being said will come across much better to the male hiring manager when the woman says it.
Some people just have a natural vibe to them where others are attracted to them instantly (and thus are willing to bend over more for them), others don't. No amount of learning can change that. The so-called pimp may have been one of those people.

Not that it is any of your business, but I didn't vote. That was the first time in 20 years. I was out of state for an interview, and didn't have time to do the absentee ballot.

You really shouldn't advertise that your a CJ graduate since your post illustrates your lack of skills in critical thinking and writing.

Fast food would no doubt have the nearest food prep employee assist customers unable to use it, dropping the cashier position from payroll. 90% of the day-food prep person is not fully utilized anyway.
They move in with family or live under a bridge when their unemployment checks run out.
This. I know plenty of people that have moved in with family.
