Our grocery store has giant robots now.

As you can see, they put giant googley eyes on them to make them more endearing and less menacing. Except they’re on the side of the robot’s “head,” so you can’t see them when this 6 ft black obelisk with glowing blue eyes starts rolling up on you and your small defenseless child while you’re innocently standing in the baking aisle looking for pancake mix.

Today a woman at the grocery store passed me and said “That stupid goddamn robot!” and smashed her cart into it. The first blow in the human/robot war has been struck.

This is juul’s new concert design for 2030

WHAT. ARE. THEY. FOR.

hey y’all, Stop and Shop employee here. Let me explain these things.
This is “Marty”. A bunch of martys were installed at stores all over the country. When we were first told of Marty the managers said they’d be used to clean up small messes and to help customers find products. They don’t do either of those things. They putter around the store constantly beeping and getting in the way. If they find a ‘mess’ on the ground.. (a mess being anything as small as the stem of an apple) they don’t clean it up. Instead it starts saying to be wary of the hazard and broadcasts over the PA system for someone to come clean it up. They have no interface to help customers find items and they don’t clean anything themselves. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO!?! Spy on workers. These things are just an extra security camera that can move all over the store and watch the employees to make sure we aren’t doing anything the company doesn’t like. And here’s the real kicker… each unit costs about $40,000. And these were unveiled a week after we came back from striking about unfair policies they were trying to push onto us. 

So tl:dr, Marty fucking sucks and so does Stop and Shop
