I foresee all kinds of shenanigans. Heck, I would be surprised if people did not try to steal the RoboJanitors.
Buddy of mine does Loss Prevention at WM. From the stories he tells, I'd give the RoboJanitors less than a week.
Often, buddy says, "Let me tell you what the 'customers' did THIS week". Never ceases to amaze. If these thieves worked as hard at a job as they do at stealing, they'd be far wealthier.
Not sure that I'd want to risk jailtime over $20 worth (blackmarket) of laundry detergent. But for many, it's a lifestyle choice.
I believe you might be correct.
I'm sure Walmart will be making very careful assessments about exactly which stores to roll these out in.
This is WalMart.
People will be having sex on the robojanitors, and some will have sex with the robojanitors.
The gibsmedats will want them so they can be ghetto fabulous.
