Meet Marty (Explored)

Marty is a robot that roams about the Stop and Shop grocery store with a sign that says, "“Marty is an autonomous robot that uses image capturing technology to report spills, debris, and other potential hazards to store employees to improve your shopping experience.”

I find that his beeping and whirring is very off-putting. Even though he stops if he encounters an object or person, I do not like him approaching me.

The Saturday Self-Challenge: Grocery Store. Oops! I just say that the photo was to be in square format. Oh well. . . . I'll try to pay more attention next week.

I think Marty is a spy. Don't even think about slipping a can of beans into your purse.

Esther, la fotografía está bien, el robot moderno, pero no entiendo la necesidad de complicar la vida con más reglas, cuando tenemos excesivas. Ahora, mis respetos a tu voluntad.

If you talk to him, is he programmed to answer?
I have to laugh at one of my friends who asks Alexa questions she can't answer.

I don't trust machines that are always smiling. He's probably picking pockets while he ostensibly is hunting debris.
