Hi, I'd like to withdraw eighty bucks from my bank account.
Sir, it's actually cheaper to do that from the automatic teller machine. Here, you get charged five dollars for over-the-counter service.
Okay... thanks for the tip. But between you and me, pal, aren't you worried about being made redundant by all this automation?
I'm not sure what you mean, sir...
The bank will get rid of you because it's cheaper to run machines than pay your wages. The entire service will be run by, you know, robots and stuff.
