There’s a lot of parallels here. One I’m not on the side of Walgreens and I’m not on the side of the robot. If it comes down to petty crime but the only victim is an insured multi-billion dollar conglomerate I’m not going to shead a tear.
Comment on Robbing Delivery Robots Is Now a Thing

Here’s an idea, don’t launch these services in low trust, high crime places. In California, people can walk into a fully staffed Walgreens and commit blatant theft with no repercussions; a poor robot out in the world stands no chance.

The laws for thee and not for me.

The moment I start deploying robots on publicly funded sidewalks in attempt to undercut the working class, feel free to crack one open and steal some pizza rolls.

I used to work in a Vons in Santa Monica in 2016. We had thefts every day. Some even got violent. Our manager got tired of it and threatened to break someone’s legs after they walked out of the store with something one morning. The theft problem in CA is real.

Lol, as if theft only happens in California. This is a ridiculous statement to make.
