    I saw a coffee truck where the coffee was prepared by a robotic arm, but there was still a guy in the truck operating it. I was like, can't he just pour it??? Where does the robot come in???

      I saw a video of a robotic bartender in Vegas. It was a table-size machine that would mix a cocktail off a select menu for you. Did it more slowly and clumsily than even the most novice human bartender, less selection than a human, unable to deviate from its recipe (hope you don't like your martini extra dry), and more expensive cocktail in the end.

        who is asking for this shit

        edit ESPECIALLY in a bartender, like half your job is to be a shoulder for your drunken patrons to cry on, or a charming personality to make them forget their troubles
