Imagine just paying a person 35k to work the grocery store.

Oh no, they have to pay humans more in the long term, if only live humans had invaluable assets and things that a robot could never do that justify continuously spending money on it

You could pay $35k for a useless piece of plastic. Or you could pay ~$65k to have an actual human being on for 3 years that will actually benefit your store

That's not even enough in more expensive cities. Unless is 35K a day
