1. I know it's the headline, but it's a stretch to refer to a kiosk as a robot.

The article goes on to refer to these, much more accurately as "automated coffee dispensers."

2. Don't we have vending machines that already.do that?

3. But, but, it has an arm and a touch screen and an app and stuff...

The point I guess really is they're deviating from the original busines plan with a concept that will take away more jobs.

4. Hey,it is just a extension of the

Robotic Bartenders we have here in Vegas.

5. Whatever happened to all the good-paying jobs we paid extravagantly for?

I thought they were supposed to provide a gazillion good-paying jobs? Isn't that why the taxpayers gleefully handed over billions of dollars to them?

Horrible. I prefer a live human. We actually can talk to other humans.

6. Will it bring down the price of Airport coffee?

Do we have to tip them?
