Robot Margaritas Anyone?

The bar is open!

High tech culinary exploits are underway at the MMC, a.k.a. Main Media Center. There are precisely measured and expertly shaken drinks at the Robot Bar. Patricia, perhaps you should get one for your opening ceremony party. Robots also make our food and deliver it. Touchless cuisine at its finest. Asking them to leave out the soy sauce seems to fall on deaf ears, though. Well, to be completely fair, the robots don’t have ears.

Does anyone know how much you tip a robot? Not very friendly but service was efficient. And what do you tip them with? Cash seems impractical. Computer chips? WD-40? Suggestions are welcome in the comments.

Happy Year of the Tiger everyone. I didn’t stay up to see the ball drop.

    They seem to be at least a bit like Wall-E, so play them some songs from “Hello, Dolly!” and they’ll be happy!

    I knew the Jetsons would come true some day! Looks like Rosie has had some upgrades though! If you could get a shot of Judy that would be great. She’s a stunner!!

    Amazing! If you weren’t thirsty when you ordered you certainly were by arrival time.

    That’s crazy, but very cool!! So high tech but so full of soy sauce!!!😕 I wish I was clever enough to come up with an idea for a tip but I’ll leave that to the more creative ones!!
    Take care Joe.

    This is weird and cool, all at the same time. I would also appreciate a robot bar in my everyday life. Maybe you could get the Times to get a few of them shipped back? As for tipping, I would refrain until they give you something without soy sauce.

    I wonder what interpersonal communication will look like in the future.

    Questions, I have questions. …. Spillage? I mean, Robbie O, your bartender, seems to be making some quick starts and stops. There’s no splashing? …. How would this fare at the Beijing Hooters? …. Not a question, but a comment: As a firm union man, I’m against all this.
