Because they still have to have some employee.

It's like self check at Walmart. Yeah, they can cut out X amount of jobs, but you will never be able to completely automate a retail environment. It would be fun to watch the looting for the company that tries... maybe they could have the robot stockers hang sings on the shelves that said "Sorry for the inconvenience, the parent company wanted to save money and the item you're looking for was recently stolen by someone without a job."

I'm not a fan of the BEZOS though. Carrots work better than sticks. But, ultimately, something needs to be done. It's ridiculous that taxpayers are forced to keep companies profit margins high.
