Kroger around here have started using robots to do stocktaking. They stumble around the aisles checking what's on the shelves. Haven't seen them myself because I don't use Kroger. Guess we'll have to get used to sharing our world with them.

Kroger is my main grocery place. I have not seen the robots. What does annoy me are the employees who are "shoppers" with their huge carts, doing orders for Kroger Pick Up. They take over the whole aisle, and lots of times, there are two in one aisle, making it difficult to maneuver. The good part of this is that these employees/shoppers know where everything is in the store.

    I think I'm safe from seeing tiny robots in my tiny town's tiny tiny supermarket anytime soon. We finally got a self serve checkout - last year.

    Our town"s market not only doesn't have a self checkout, but still has sackers to bag up your groceries and take them out to the car for you.

    We've got 2 robots in our favorite Chinese restaurant. Called BellaBot. It/they carry 6 dishes on shelves, comes out of the kitchen and stops at a table, then lights up the shelves that are for that table. An employee walks over and puts in the table. When all the shelves are empty it heads back to the kitchen. One busy night one took us to our table.
