If only it could fuck up when making the schedule it would be a perfect manager
It needs to hide out in the office when shit is going bad then come out and yell at you when the shitshow is over to be the perfect manager.
Just replace the manager with it and it will begin fucking up the schedule, done.
Cambridge techbros made it scream “come here wagie I found somethin for ya” in a Boston accent while it starts complaining it hasn’t had its dunks
broke: stealing copper wire
woke: get the guts of this thing
The fact they put a face on this makes me really uncomfortable. It's like putting googly eyes on that douche from Half Life who makes you pick up the can or he beats you with his baton.
That looks like something the people in the store did, not a manufacturer choice.
I understand, and I think it's worse than manufacturing it like that; it implies someone took note of how impersonal and alienating a robot screeching at you to pick up garbage is and sought to rectify it by making the robot that screeches at you to pick up garbage smile.
I've made unhinged comments here before about putting fucking smiles on everything, it drives me absolutely postal seeing so many goddamn smiles on all these inanimate objects; mocking my animate misery with their inanimate and synthetic joy.
If it was entirely up to the workers, it would be covered in dick drawings. This is just the compromise
I've had the misfortune of meeting this robot. It always manages to get in your way, I've clipped it with my shopping cart several times trying to escape it.
Does it really just report spills or does it also stare down customers LP thinks are going to steal shit?
I’ve seen it “detect” spills (never an actual spill, usually just some center aisle display). Since it’s totally useless in that regard it would not surprise me if the actual purpose is something more nefarious. If it is for LP, it’s doing a terrible job. A 7 ft beeping, slow moving robot isn’t the best way to catch shoplifters.
they had to put googly eyes on it so it wouldn't look like a giant dildo running around in the store
Well, it's not very useful when you can just wait 10 seconds until it's out of sight and then steal. A bunch of cameras would probably be cheaper and actually work.
It's essentially an oversized roomba the manufacturer sells to the store to give the workplace a slightly more panopticon feel. Probably doesn't even detect spills - more sensors, less profit.
maybe it'll make good shoplifting cover
and no one expects you to take things from right in front of marty
