When I was a kid in the 60s,i wanted a robot more than anything! There was a robot on Lost in Space, and Gigantor, and AstroBoy, and nothing else could be cooler!
Now I'm an adult, and there is a huge in-the-way pos robot roaming the aisles of Giant Supermarket, and I am surprised at how much I despise that damned thing! I want to knock it over every time it sneaks up on me or gets in my way! (It patrols the store looking for spills. It doesn't even clean them up, it calls for a cleanup in aisle #. That's its whole job. What a waste.)

That damn thing is always in the way, can't they just pay some 15 y.o. kid to find spills and clean em up?

They do, after the POS-Bot finds 'em first.

"How much does it cost to hire a 15-year-old?"
"About 15 grand a year."
"And to buy this robot?"
"About 14 grand."
"There you go."

But you still need the kid to mop, the robot just rolls around and looks for the mess. Its not a Roomba.
