Machines Replace Bartenders…Are We Ready?
Nobody FLashes
Robot Bartender to Set Sail On Cutting-Edge Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship
Have you gotten used to pumping your own gas yet? So—what do you think about your local Bartender being replaced by a machine?
No more great dirty jokes, no more sympathetic shoulders, no more Tom Cruise look-a-likes tossing the ladies their favorite drinks, no more ladies in revealing tops that you can watch on a lonely night, while dreaming of taking her home.
No more complaining that the bartender is cheating you on that shot and you are just drinking coke with just an ounce of rum instead of a shot.
Bar owners will be ecstatic to know, that their bartender cannot skim off the cash register any more.
No more college kids making money to put themselves though school…those jobs will soon be gone.
It’s here: The Robotic Bartender.
And they are starting to use them first: on Royal Caribbean:
The ship will implement the Makr Shakr, a drink-making robot that debuted last year at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. Guests order their drink from a tablet and pay by tapping their electronic SeaPass cards; once the drinks is paid for, the robot mixes it and delivers to the guest via a conveyor belt. Royal Caribbean has spliced Bionic Bar renderings with footage of the Makr Shakr in action, so if you missed the robots the first time around, watch them at work here:
You won’t have to tip, but you CAN be sure, the prices on your menu will not be cheap. And while you get drunk, MAYBE that sexy robot behind the bar will start looking pretty good, and you could slip it a key to your hotel room, and maybe you will get a visit to your room, and that will be another robot.
But, here’ s the good news! You can now buy your own home robot bartender for just $5,000! (Even a non-drinker like me would love one of those.)
Why go to the local bar? Why waste gas money? In fact, have your friends over and charge them for drinks from your new robot bartender buddy! Whose going to know?
And if you want to get more for your buck, you can get a more efficent model for $160,000.
If the machine breaks down, you can always go down to the local pub and get your drink from a person who REALLY cares, and will serve you your glass of wine in a beautiful wine goblet instead of a paper cup.
At least…for now.

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
