But how is this progress? A human is still doing the same thing just through an avatar?
In theory one human could use multiple robots at the same time, but then every single bar/shop would have to have the same layout/shelves, shape of bottles/glasses etc.

Most chain stores have a planogram with the same stocking placement. It would take forever for a bot to actually replenish a drink cooler. They’re messy cold dungeons where clerks leave stuff laying around looking for stuff and not keeping it organized.

this look tedious.. Its amazing they got this far.. but this still looks tedious and pointless. like they need to do something with this other then just laborious effort. Make it do something no human can do on there own.

Speaking from experience, it is completely inefficient versus a human doing the job. The inside of cold drink coolers for direct serve are always a mess, disorganized and cluttered. Clerks destroy them looking through back stock leaving it all in disarray.

But why did they have to make it look like its planning to eradicate the human race after it clocks out?

What if the robots actions were actually productive if the human was using Tai Chi? It would greatly benefit the user at the same time. Just a thought

That would be too time consuming. You’d spend all day in that cooler at that speed. Not only that, the restricted movement from clerks making a mess would also dramatically slow it down. Drink coolers are drink dungeons.
