Yes, and had I been asked at the time, I would have opposed it, unless efforts were made to provide anyone laid off as a result with equal or better work. Given how businesses and governments treat people working as cashiers, that doesn’t seem likely to happen for people laid off as a result of self checkout kiosks.
