  1. I, for one, welcome our new fried-breakfast-baring overlords

  2. Has anyone come across Tally in a Morrisons? I had to say hi back because when they take over, they will remember that I was nice to them

  3. Will we still be able to do the “wahey!!” when it inevitably falls over and drops stuff?

  4. It’s the cat ears that’s gonna piss them off isn’t it?

  5. We should do what a few café in Japan have done and have the robots controlled by people who are housebound I know not everyone who’s housebound could operate them but people who are immune compromised ect

  6. “Take your Soylent Green, sir.”
    “But I don’t want Soylent Green.”
    “Take your Soylent Green, sir!”
    “I want a steak!”
    “TAKE YOUR FUCKING SOYLENT GREEN, MEATBAG!”

  7. garden centre cafes have some kind of catnip aura for retired pensioners. I’ve never passed one that isn’t rammed.

  8. Is this the type where if you say thank you to it, the cat face on the screen smiles? Looks the same sort with the cat ears, but maybe they have different models that are similar.

    I always like seeing the robots pottering around at a restaurant. They are better than I expected, I’ve never seen one get stuck in a corner or run over a kid or go to the wrong table or just start randomly spinning in a circle yet.

  9. I went to a Chinese buffet that had these! They brought them in when COVID (temporarily) put people off the idea of using shared utensils and picking their food from communal pots, but they decided to keep the system long after.

    They were an interesting novelty but a bit slow, not quite the same experience and people on other tables tended to “steal” your food before it got to you. All the reviews slated it, all the restaurant’s replies said that customers loved it and they went out of business about a year ago iirc

    I think they’re quite fun though, just not ideal as a buffet replacement

  10. “SARAH CONNOR?”

    “I HAVE YOUR CLOTHES, YOUR BOOTS AND YOUR FRIED BREAKFAST”

    “I ordered a pot of tea too”

    “I’LL BE BACK”

  11. Oh god, they’ve finally arrived in the UK? First time one of these crept up on me in Japan I nearly shit myself.

  12. I saw one of these at Belfast International, I bought lunch and a pint of Guinness and what amused is that, that droid brought me my lunch, but a human still had to bring the pint to me by hand, cause the hunk of scrap would’ve spilt it.

  13. The worst part of these things is when people don’t take their allotted tray and take all the trays and you’re wondering where your order is for ages.

    Source: it happened to me at all you can eat sushi where a group took our order and it had to be remade.

  14. Another starter job that will no longer exist. Seriously what is gonna happen to entry level jobs for young people. Any low level office Job is going to become ai automated and now hospitality is being replaced by shitty roombas.

  15. You have to press something on the screen to return the robot once you have your food – the amount of times people don’t realise this and just get uneasy with the robot staring over their shoulder.

    Also, that garden centre is such a pain to leave since the redesign last year. At least they still have the giant shovel out front!
