I can imagine the scene, Staff return to the store in the morning, to find that they can't open the doors as the robot has filled every isle chock-a-block with cartons, wall to wall...

That’s maybe technologically nice to have but only increasing business costs and following the end prices we customers have finally fully to pay. And as we on average don’t have money anymore, that’s another interesting invention but only landing in the garbage can. It also doesn’t save from almost same amount of manual labor and of course also won’t serve much to those GX or climate goals and all such.

actually no its the opposite, Amazon use this tech in all their warehouses, and we know Amazon is pretty dare competitive on prices. Like it or hate it, the companies that dont adopt this tech in the future will be at a disadvantage

A robot will pick up the order at the store, then drive back to the house
Humans won't even need to go to the store anymore
Robots will put products up at the store shelves; other robots will pick it up

I've experienced this in Gusto restaurants in Kanzawa and Nara in the last few months. The robot waiter brings the food to your table. The human in Nara broke a dish when he tried to clean up the table. As soon as they can get the robots to clean the table, he will be set loose.

We had a robot server in a Korean restaurant near us a few days ago. Quite a novelty.

The Naval Hospital in San Diego had robots delivering meals and to the wards as far back as 1989. They would navigate from the kitchen, use the elevators, get of at the appropriate floor and take the food to the right location for the nursing staff to distribute to individual patients. There were wires embedded in the floors for the robots to follow. Pretty slick for the days of big hair and disco!
