The tech was kind of neat but I didn't really see the point.

They're mostly located around office buildings rather than residential areas. Nobody was going in to grab a half gallon of milk during work hours, and their lunch selection was a bunch of pre-made refrigerated sandwiches and wraps.

Also, it's not like check out times are crazy long at a standard bodega and this was a solution.

I'm one of the few that lives close to one of these, and I pop in once a week to get some snacks, fountain soda, and some frozen dinners and dessert. Prices are comparable to other convenience stores and the novelty definitely is, well, novel. But I've never once seen it busy.

It was good for breakfast on the way into the office. Grab a yogurt, the cup with 2 hard boiled eggs and spinach, and when it was on special a coffee.
