How did it get unloaded? How did the returns (kegs etc) get back into the truck and spoils too? Who unloaded back at the distributor?

  Apparently there was a driver present. Humans augment the machine, until the robots get good enough to do that part of it.

    The owner or the liquor store I worked at required the drivers to do a lot. Heavy lifting and placing product. They are defacto employees. Owner of a liquor chain has great pull. From simple product placement, sales, etc. Uber chose this market - but why a heavy perishable delivery.

It's perishable, so it benefits greatly from more frequent smaller deliveries, instead of rare large deliveries. If you don't have to pay a person to drive, you can do that. Additionally, the packaging is perfectly regular (cans or kegs, always the same size, made of a durable material).
