Do you get paid to pump your own gas?

No, but full service gas stations have essentially been eliminated in most of the country.

Do you deposit checks using the app on your phone?

Saves me time on a trip to the bank. Bad comparison.

Have you noticed people pulling grocery orders for pickup and/or delivery? Job Created because of technology.

Quite likely people who would otherwise be working the checkout counter so net zero at best.

Plus, using your example of pumping gas and depositing checks, those are jobs lost due to technology. What are the people who rely on low paying jobs supposed to do when their job is eliminated because of automation or because companies realize they can pass the responsibility on to the customer.
