>>That's absurd, someone takes two seconds to move an object so someone else can get their food on time. That's just being a good human rather that sweating about "free labor to corporations" first.
Someone who can afford a robot delivery can afford a human delivery for an extra 50 cents, or learn from this situation to not use that company again because they use robots and robots... suck, or further incentivizes the delivery company to hire humans instead of destroying what is already a poorly paid and scarce economy of delivery drivers.
All wins in my book.
- duxup 5y agoI'm pretty skeptical of folks who disregard basic human kindness, inserts their own hate for whatever it is they are concerned about and tries to disguise that as caring for others. Whatever happens to "scarce economy of delivery drivers" is going to happen. Clearing the sidewalk is just being nice to everyone.
- fishtacos 5y agoLikewise, not a fan of folks who dismiss others' predicaments via injecting their own misunderstanding into an argument they neither understand, nor engage in earnestly. Clearing the sidewalk is being nice. Clearing the sidewalk to help multibillion dollar companies so they cause less of a mess while pushing millions of others out of work is not. Spare me your judgement.
- vorpalhex 5y agoI agree, you should never assist a pizza delivery driver. After all, Dominos makes billions of dollars, they can afford their own pizza-delivery assistance staff. Maybe we can even make the case you should slow down delivery drivers! Pull in front of them and go quite slow, or block their bike path.

- financetechbro 5y agoPeople are not “50 cents” more expensive than robots…
- fishtacos 5y agoRobots are also more functional. What's your cut off for accepting this nuisance and detriment?
