It is detrimental to cashier's jobs because the technology is used to replaced cashiers at supermarkets by determining if you paid before leaving the store. This could be a privacy issue by recording every customer's face, and it prevents people from using cash when checking out. This is important because it shows technology is affecting our retail workers in a negative way. We have 3.5 million cashiers in the U.S. today, which could cause lots of people to lose their jobs.

Amazon initially started out as an online bookstore but then continued to expand into something more. By 2015, it became more widely used than Walmart, and in March of 2018, it became the third-biggest company in market capitalization. This is important because Amazon’s success is harming small businesses.
