  So this isn’t so much a vending machine replacement as it is a coffee kiosk replacement. One that would normally have a human employee or two and is now manned by a robot. The customer will likely end up paying more for their coffee due to the gimmick of the robot. And you know the payment screen is still going to ask for a tip even though the robot doesn’t need it.

    The openly top robots get is the Boston dynamics body slam.

    You’d think the tip would go to the guy who comes in at night to clean and restock, but he’s likely paid even less than the baristas.

      What are you guys on? Vending machines don’t ask for tips.

        That’s the culture in America. The difference with vending machines is there’s nobody to judge you for hitting “No Tip”.

  Guess that it is setup to look like a coffee shop, instead of a normal vending machine.

  IDK, but it perfectly encapsulates the hype.
