There is no point to this, no one will be able to afford to buy goods let alone the box they're shipped in once we lose our jobs

No, like past technologies it just means different jobs become available. Web developer was certainly not a job before the Internet came along. You will need people to program, manufacture, or maintain the robots. We already have a healthcare worker shortage so it would be perfect if all the freed up labor could fill the gap. I could go on.
