That’s a security bot to keep niggers from stealing

>>11925552
>niggers steal milk to make themselves sick

>>11925556
It's funny that this stereotype is around. Most lactose intolerant people I've come across are usually white kids. Then again my area is mainly just white and Asian.

>Marty, a tall grey robot assistant, will take on the aisles of all of Giant Food Stores' 172 locations, the company said Monday. The robot can identify and report spills to customers and employees.

>Marty roams the store unassisted to flag spills and other hazards using image capturing technology, according to The Washington Post. When it finds them, the robot will reportedly alert customers by saying "caution, hazard detected." It'll also announce the incident through the store's public address system to notify employees, the Post said.
What the fuck it's real

>>11925541
Why are there no videos of people tipping these fuckers yet?

>>11925552
>nigger nigger nigger, I literally can't stop thinking about niggers
What's it like living in a slave state? I wouldn't know.

>>11925541
StopN Shop right? The funny thing is they aren't even fully autonomous, they hire control people in the Philippines that make the decision on setting the alarm when it finds a spill.

This shit is utter retarded to me and I won't be going to any store that has these things.

>>11925573
Because normal people don't walk into a grocery store and their first thought is to be destructive for no reason

>>11925573
It'll record you tipping it and they probably cost a few thousand in damages

>>11925582
You're the reason robots will overtake humanity eventually

>>11925550
That's why I always throw in a few random items that I know no one ever buys just to fuck with it, and take them out before I pay. The store keeps stocking the items thinking people are buying them meanwhile the dumbass boomer managers are wasting money on useless shit that just sits on the shelf.

>>11925591
And I'm sure you're either an autistic shut-in or on probation

>>11925580
I’m black btw

>the grocery jester has been replaced by a robot

>>11925586
>>11925573
They might be too hard to easily tip over. If they're like these ones they're artificially weighed down to prevent it from happening. This is 400 pounds.

>>11925617
it looks like it's photoshopped into the image

>>11925541
If it's walmart, that is a million dollar robot that scans to see if shelves are the way they are supposed to be. So a million dollar machine that says when shit is messed up instead of a $11 an hour worker seeing it and fixing it right then and there.

>>11925670
Based capitalism

danger danger, don't forget to pick up pamphlets.

>>11925670
Based. Let's get rid of unnecessary jobs.

>>11925617
>dalek defends MC from being iskeai'd

>>11925676
>>11925679
well it doesn't get rid of the job. It is just a machine that yells when shit is wrong, it still needs the person to fix it.

>>11925699
it does get rid of a certain number of work hours though. Without the robot, a person would have to be checking the store for problems to fix.

>>11925670
They only rent them for surprisingly cheap.

>>11925703
>>11925705
well those makes it sound less stupid now.

>>11925708
sounds incredibly stupid.

If the robot is checking stock, that means the employees will be even LESS familar with it than they are now. Do you really want the employees at your local McMart to be even less useful than they are currently?

>>11925754
Shut the fuck up. Management is just trying to innovate and you do nothing but criticize.

i am all about making wage cucks obsolete but this sounds retarded. what a waste of money. i bet the silicon valley nerds who designed it just hooped some dumbass trust fund baby exec into funding them to make a janitor robot but then it didn't work so they had to settle for a "cleanup on aisle five" machine. a roomba that doesn't even do what a roomba does. snore.

call me when it can actually clean up the mess and also give me a titwank with the tampon section

>>11925670
Well I imagine it's linked directly to services that track the rate at which items are sold and how much to order and can alert the people in charge of ordering instantaneously and a host of other things, and only for the initial cost plus maintenance. So yeah, it does all these things more efficiently than multiple employees would and long term would save a significant amount of money, plus it frees up those employees to do something more meaningful

>>11925570
How many fucking spills do they get?

>>11925786
Former grocery store employee here, customers are stupid faggots who spill/break shit all the god damn time, I've even seen literal shit on the floor from a customer.

>>11925786
It just seems more like an insulting gimmick at this stage. Like I posted before they still have humans in the third world to confirm the spills, and if they're like the butt-plug shaped ones they're only $7 an hour to rent.

>>11925573
Because it's not a card stand.

>>11925598
Big talk from a robot nigger. Have fun getting gears stuck up your ass, fag.
Or should I say that you'll be a.. gear queer?

>>11925813
>they still have humans in the third world to confirm the spills
reminds me of when i worked at a shitty call centre for a summer, the managers contracted a "quality assurance company" in like sierra leone or something to monitor our calls and they were never online, and when they were they didn't speak english

>>11925559
but asians are the most lactose intolerant

>>11925541
as soon as I saw this I knew it would never work because it's going to get vandalized and broken so hard within the day.

>>11925559
its a fact that all persons without caucasian heritage are lactose intolerant.

yes I mean ALL.

>>11925887
I'm Asian and I drink and eat dairy daily

>>11925887
>dumb /pol/ opinion with no source

>>11925840
>>11925887
I don't know what to tell you. It's usually the overconcerned white mother that asks if stuff is dairy free (work at a restaurant) for their young child. Also most Asians use some dairy for their boba and dessert stuff.

>Present your shopping pass please!
>You have 20 seconds to comply!

These things are marketing devices to track traffic patterns to optimize sales per sq foot.

>Alaskan niggers

>>11925893
What exactly is your Asian root?

>Overall, about 65% of people experience some form of lactose intolerance as they age past infancy, but there are significant differences between populations and regions, with rates as low as 5% among northern Europeans and as high as over 90% of adults in some communities of Asia.

>>11925754
Really could it get worse?

>>11925897
Yogurt is different, as it already includes the bacteria to digest lactose, which that person may otherwise lack the digestive enzyme for.

>>11925893
asians don't speak english so you're not really asian

>>11925929
>, about 65% of people experience some form of lactose intolerance as they age past infancy, but there are significant differences between populations and regions, with rates as low as 5% among northern Europeans and as high as over 90%
You know, I've always wondered where they get these percentages from. As well as the sample size.

>>11925573

>Why you should tip your robots 20%

>>11925938
They are well established facts.

Lactose tolerance is uniquely a caucasian mutation. Other races and all other mammals become lactose intolerant at an early age.

The function of lactose intolerance, is for the mother to know when to ween its child off its milk to start eating other foods, as the offspring starts exhibiting lactose intolerance symptoms.

This also is why Europe especially is the cheese center of the world.

>>11925541
What the fuck does thi robot even do?

>>11925573
Why are Americans so obsessed with tipping everything?

>>11925929
According to a 23andme, I'm majority Chinese, a quarter Vietnamese and then some other random stuff. Which sounds about right given my family tree

>>11925914
wainwright mil base in fairbanks probably

>>11925989
You probably have enough white/caucasian in you to provide some degree of lactose tolerance.

>>11925570
How about, you know, placing cameras at floor height to detect spills? Or you know, just having someone check on it?

>>11925573
>Be american
>Tip barbers for doing their job
>Tip robots for doing something you already do.

Tip it over? I want a fuck video.

>>11925703
Instead you have a person who is waiting 8 hours for a problem to come up and fix it.

>>11925765
This shit is unnecessary and ineffective. What's so innovative about it? How about you put some lights on your workers shirts so they look more innovative?

>>11925541

Fucking welfare babbies

>>11925541
The supermarket I work at just got one of these pieces of trash, and as the maintenance guy, I'm responsible for it. Besides out-of-stocks (which it doesn't do yet), it's supposed to detect spills and other hazards. Only problem is, it's a defective waste of money and goes off constantly with false alarms. Hasn't found a single cleanup yet for me personally, but hey - it lets customers take selfies with it (its ONLY use).

>>11926036

4chan spreads this lie and from living in Japan, they consume more dairy than the US if you exclude cheese

Robots are racist.

This Robot is most likely a racist.

>>11926183
Bullshit. I did a month abroad with a host family and there was very very little dairy products consumed.

>>11926285
>>listen everybody, I have a single data point so I know more than you do!

>>11926301
That could be said for every Stat that gets thrown out here though.

>>11926314
I think you're confusing anecdotes with stats. And also failing to realize that if you're disproving a claim a single counterexample suffices.

>>11925682
Why is a dalek saving someone, unless mc kunt is a dalek.

>>11925796
imagine all those people walking by you, never suspecting you were a busted-up half-person who dwells on 4chan

>>11925754
The robot would simply be flagging for merch that needs to be pulled from sky shelves. The actual store employees would be doing all the stocking.

>>11925581

>>11925541
They say to detect "spills" but how many fucking spills do you see in a grocery store? Probably more likely to catch shoplifters and move us toward cashless "smart" store bullshit.

As someone who actually works at a grocery store, shit spills all the time. Milk jugs leak, bottles of water come with slits from transport, spaghetti sauce jars fall out of people's hands and shatter on the floor... You name it, it happens.

it's a non-problem, grocery stores have enough employees walking around working to find any spill within minutes

We need to hack Marty the spill bot and make spills. Preferably spaghetti. Who has no time and full Philippines access?

>>11928451
no time *constraints*

>>11928216
the real problem being is their employees are lazy as fuck and lack the sense of urgency to fix a slip hazard. the real solution being fire your fucking lazy workforce and get some new ones.

all pessimism aside if you see one of these roaming around you know the management are not good at making decisions and you can bet your groceries are going to be much more expensive to pay for this dumb thing.
