The kind of lazy fuck who likes the novelty of a robot delivering snacks? I'd probably do it a couple of times at least.

Yea I think people will pretty much do it for the novelty or when they are too trashed or when the weather is bad. You do save some delivery people going out in crappy weather with these robots.

Sodexo thanks you for your $4. You do not, however, a business case make. I'm not sure if ramen is still popular in the dorms or not, but I know that both of the community colleges I go to have Little Free Pantries. And I don't know that a slow-moving beer cooler full of PostMates for Rich Kids will seed resentment amongst those who count their dimes but I don't discount the possibility. Now granted - George Mason ain't community college. But I'm not sure this is going to turn out the way Sodexo wants it to.
