No need for Human beings any more
quote.......
It's happened to auto factory workers, assembly line workers, even vacuum cleaners and now it could be happening to bartenders -- replaced by robots.

RoboBar is a robot bartender that can work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, that won't call in sick and won't complain about tips.

snip

Speed, reliability and consistency are what Potter thinks makes RoboBar the perfect employee.

"If you look at just the pouring of drinks," he said, "there's about a 20 percent loss of inventory due to mispours, over-pours, free drinks and that kind of stuff."

RoboBar, he says, can save bar and restaurant owners significant amounts of money on inventory, but also because this employee doesn't require benefits, breaks and has no friends to give drinks away to.

end quote.......

1. Will it listen to me bitch about my ex-wife?
No?

RoboBar, you are fired. ANd after a few more drinks, I'll probably hop and the bar and piss on you, just to see what will happen.
