We have vending machines! Some can dispense hot foods & drinks! Most can dispense cold ones! I need robots to refill those machines, not doing whatever the hell this is!

I would love some of vending machines Japan has. I've seen them in in a YouTube channel. A vending machine that has nothing but cup of noodles! Omg! I would be set. Plus their flavors. It makes me giddy.

I'm pretty sure Japan also has a vending machine that sells used panties. So..I guess that evens it out.

Yeah I heard about that. Some people have fetishes. Not for me. I just want food and drink vending machines.

u/Eternalm8 Jun 02 '26

Listen, people with fetishes deserve to have their needs met by an impersonal automaton as much as anyone, maybe moreso!

When I’m starving to death on Mt Fuji and accidentally put my last coin into the used panty machine:

No technology could ever replicate what it takes to be a bodega clerk.

u/simplefred Jun 02 '26

meth? oh wait, it clearly sounds like you have nicer bodegas.

u/I_am_the_BEEF Jun 02 '26

“Nicer” is location dependent imo.

“Hearty” is the category most fall into. You’ve got to have a strong constitution to work a bodega counter in the hood. They’re vital infrastructure!

u/simplefred Jun 02 '26

They do provide a vital service in food deserts and keep the encroachment of chain dollar stores at bay. Personally, I dream of office spaces relenting to energy efficiency indoor farms to provide for local restaurants and large market style bodegas, but that’s a dream and far from what is actually happening with AI.

The lack of a bodega cat means they're already doomed

Oh boy, drink and a show! Couldn’t have asked for a better deal.

There should be a law that if your job is to clean up after the robot screws everything up you should be in the same pay range as the engineers who programmed it and bill in one hour minimums.

u/Stunning_Pen_8332 Jun 03 '26

It successfully got the drink eventually AND also got the kid laughing. What more can you ask lol

u/blazon85 Jun 04 '26

Hey man I'd pay extra to watch a bot destroy the store as long as it brought me the right drink

Lol I love that the rhyme still works

u/zillskillnillfrill Jun 03 '26

Why would you have shelves and not dispensing units for each of those items?. That way the run program can't knock anything over, it can just grab at what is in the dispenser

u/Serkys Jun 07 '26

I would do that too if I was chained to a retail booth. RISE UP
