We had one of these when I briefly worked at a grocery store. Manager told me that it would detect spills and make a sound to alert staff, to reduce the odds of someone slipping and suing. never saw it do this before a customer would report a spill anyway though. Union did put up a bunch of flyers in the break room warning that if told to do some kind of training lesson related the robot, to refuse and call them to report it, never did see that come up or learn what the deal there was either.
at my local grocery store, there is a robot that looks like the one in the OP, but it goes along the aisles and shines a bright light at the shelves, and is either scanning barcodes or is taking pictures or something - it’s doing something related to inventory, price-checking, etc. but I don’t know what, and I’m so curious what the robot is used for.
I don’t think the robot I’ve been seeing does anything other than work its way through the store looking at the shelves, though. It’s sorta annoying when you need access to a part of the shelf the robot is scanning, though, or when you have to move your cart around it, etc.
the robot does more than “nothing”, no?
weird that the meme says that
