I don't know why they make it seem like these guys want to put the little mom and pop stores out of business. Sure, they will be affected, but the real companies that will be in competition with these automated machines are the big convenience stores (7-Eleven, AM/PM), grocery chains, pharmacy chains (walgreens/CVS) and every gas station (they make their money on stuff you buy inside not the gas). I know some of these locations can be owned by local franchisers, but this is hardly some big tech company big wigs trying to take out the little guy.
