more lame stores from the future. next up, robot worker unions

cnet reports that a zappos.com warehouse in Kentucky now employs robots to fill online orders. once an order is placed, the robots are notified, they locate and grab the ordered inventory and bring them to an awaiting human who boxes and mails out the order. apparently robots aren't mail savvy, but at least they won't waste time with things like procreating and emotion. silly humans.
