    We’re talking about the cost a human being sitting around selling tickets to people. You can value that service all day long, but if the human being is wasting their life doing something a machine could do you’re literally wasting human life.

    If a job can be killed. Replace it. This isn’t about money, money is a proxy for what actually matters. Time and resources.

    Human potential far surpasses selling you tickets, and any human potential wasted in this way is a tragedy.

      The ticket office staff don’t merely sell tickets - and I know because I’ve done the job - much of the job is assisting people in a way a machine still cannot.
