One of mine is a laundromat using great bit industrial laundry machines like you see in hospitals and prisons. Instead of keeping everyone's clothing separate everyone needs to put an RFID chip on each item of clothing. We use automation to sort clothing into multiple streams for different types of washing, and to put it all back together so the customer can pick it up. While robots have a hard time manipulating fabric they should have a much doing simple tasks like picking clothing items off of a conveyor belt, more complicated tasks like folding would be done by people.
RFIDs ensure that the clothing is washed perfectly every time and costs go down because we can use more industrial techniques. If you're interested in evil data-gathering you can get a bunch of metadata about people based on what they wear, how often they wear it, how often the keep old clothes, etc.
