Do curbside pick up. You don’t get to squeeze the Charmin but it’s less time and effort.

Actually, the robots could teach the dum dums?

But suppose they could increase all the low IQ people 20 points..there would still be a group of people with the lowest IQ.

Possibilties:

LOL, IDK but seriously, the market has a way of adjusting. But that takes time. So very severe employment dislocations are certainly a possibility. And if they occur then will existing safety nets be able to deal with it.

Who breaks down the trucks? ***

Don’t know who breaks down the trucks.

IIRC, Different bigger robots refill stock. Those grid robots fill orders from bins that are 21 milk carton deep size cavities.

Ocado, has been sued by Autostore(Norway) in the US, UK, and Norway for patent infringement.

So far the Robot Wars only involve humans.

It is amazing tech.
They are also using plastic bags which will destroy the earth.
Robots will rise up one day and will not fill your grocery order and all humans will die, well at least liberals who will be trapped inside a Amazon grocery store when the robots disable the card reader and the liberals cannot figure out how to open the door then the robots will process the liberal into soylent green to be used as fertilizer somewhere.

No. And neither would the human tasked with emptying the pallet.
