What does this mean for workers? Tesco's move touches 1 job, which employs about 2.2 million people in the U.S. For janitors and cleaners, AI and robots already touch about 2h 40m of a typical 8-hour shift. A single company's move is an early signal for these jobs, and the time cards show how far the change has spread nationally.

Rolling out means it is in use and spreading to more locations or teams.
