There's no stopping automation. Even if the cashiers were free the big players would still go to a self service model.
It's faster and less error prone, meaning more customers, meaning more profit.
It’s not automation if I have to do it instead. What you are describing is those amazon stores with cameras up to each customers rectum - and even amazon is closing these down.
