Reply to comment by whomp1970 in Marty robot runs away from GIANT store in Pennsylvania by Fabulous_Hat_9831

It’s not too hard to fathom. It’ll pay for itself in a few months vs a teenager. Also highly doubt it’s for theft or recording you. That’s ludicrous there are cameras overhead with better angles. An awkward robot that moves at 0.1 mph isn’t monitoring for theft.

The info from your bonus card tendencies is way more valuable.

Just having the eyes on it will reduce shrink. There have been studies about how people will behave more honestly if they think they're being watched, even by eyes painted on the wall.

That thing followed me around in the Harrisburg Martin's store when I was visiting friends a few weeks ago. I just grabbed some gouda cubes and got out of its range.
