What will the People of Walmart make of this? Personally, I think store robots like these don't really help much. A novelty at first, I think the image of Walmart as a cheapskate on all things human, will give the robot a negative reputation.
A lot of major chains down there, since implementing self-service checkouts etc, now just employ people to be friendly and give the brand and store some kind of face. It was interesting.
Kind of like hiring some warmth and personality for an otherwise cold and desolate warehouse.

That depends entirely upon whether or not the robots can help deliver their "I thought it was just gas" bathroom babies.
