Like Lucky, I find myself using Postmates quite a bit (and I too was bummed when purchases from them stopped being categorized as Dining). For those of you who aren't familiar, Postmates is an on-demand delivery app that will bring food from local restaurants to your door. It's easy to use, and the delivery fees…

Andrew those robots depend on a tip to earn a living. Everyone knows minimum robot wage is not enough to support a family. Maybe one day we in the US will treat robots in the US like the Robots of Japan. I hope you left him something to help his robot family. Oil isn't cheap!!!
I'm not about to support some droid army. Nobody ever tipped R2-D2 and he did some pretty incredible things--so yeah, that's the level of service I'd expect before I start tipping a robot.
not sure why you blurred out all the street names, but not your address in the previous photo
I suspect these things will be the subject of vandalism and theft. I can see kids taking the robot "tipping" literally to screw with things.
Totally against these robots. They'll even take away the minimum wage jobs. Of course, immigrants will get blamed for it.
So obnoxious, these robot threads always degrade into the exact same arguments on tipping...
If you can afford to order food, surely you can afford to tip the poor robot that's trying to make ends meet. Some of these robots have to work long hours without any breaks. And they do their work without having any attitude. Sure, this one was slow, but maybe it's because of people like YOU who don't tip them that they don't have enough fuel to go as fast as they can.
The downside of living in a smaller metro area. We don't get any type of testing or trials done.
REally you like robot delivering the food.
We will be soon in a world where these corporations and the 1% make all the products using robots and want the 99% to buy the products. but without any job no one will have money to buy anything.
As soon as this robot is not companioned anymore, some drunk kids would beat the s**t out of this robot. At least they dont beat humans, one good thing about this robot. Otherwise I still prefer a human bringing my food.
There goes my brothers extra curricular job after school and on weekends. He's met a lot of really nice ppl on his routes and made $11,000. before taxes. He loves Post Mates.
I'm sure that before the Fall, cute little robots delivered food all over Caprica, relaying information to their masters. And we know how that turned out.
@Christian - "companioned"? No. Just no. "Companion" is a noun. "Accompanied" would be right.
Good to read a report of this robot service from a real customer.
Thanks for sharing Andrew, hope to see more of your posts here.
