What sort of costs go into these employees? I think I'm missing something, but not very familiar with costs of a worker who:
* has no benefits
* BYOD
* not eligible for benefits (they are explicitly called out in TFA as not eligible to become employees)
In the long term, they cost more than the code that is just optimizing delivery of what's in the warehouse to "what each consumer has been surveyed as preferring/purchasing".
This seems like an inflection point for the company where their software is starting to be more useful than their employees. It's the equivalent of McDonald's replacing counter people with kiosks.

Is it just the cost of scheduling these workers?
