So what should we do with all the checkout folk, waiters, waitresses, counter clerks and other folk whose function gets surplussed?
Well when we get robotics down the only solution would be a communist form of economy. Because the grate majority of workers would no longer be needed as machines will be able to do the work better, cheaper, faster. The only jobs left open will be in programming, science, and organization. just about everything else will be done by robots or computers. So a capitalist system will be unable to function as 90% of people will be out of work and have no money to buy the stuff that robots make.
Personally i would love to see this happen today but the fat cats will be fighting this to their last breath, well at least until their greed leads them to this path.All it takes is one to get the dominoes falling as his competitors will be unable to compete with their human workers, they will have to switch to robotics .....

Re: I can see the basic function...
Reality check: People do live on minimum wage.
No they dont they live on minimum wage combined food stamps and other forms of socialist handouts
Basicaly our taxes go to sponsor minimum wage workers for the cooperation's. Think of it as a subsidy for corporations they dont have to pay their workers as much as we all have to chip in so they dont die of hunger.

Re: self learning.
Once robots are self-learning, what programming would be needed?
We will always need simpler programs, and even if robots are self learning we dont know what creativity if any they would have so we probably still will need humans to come up with apps that for example dont let you text while your drunk.

Re: Tip Sharing
A very long time ago when I was washing pots in Harvard Square, Cambridge (our fair city), I was astonished that the waitresses gave me a cut of their tips.
That was back in the 70's though. Thing may have changed....
Yea i dont get that eligible for tips thing you can tip anyone in my country some people actually tip the shef rather then the waiter. or both lol. But most normal restaurants divide the tips equally among its staff. Not so for high end restaurants a friend of mine got a 500 EUR tip once the customer wanted to eat by the water the waiter serving him was trying to tell him its impossible my friend just grabbed a table placed it by the lake and went for the chairs then served the guy. After he got the tip he showed it to the other waiter and said the costumer is always right if he says he wants to eat on the chimney you put his table on the chimney.
