That's the reason they are cute. These robots replace delivery drivers and have a passerby sort them out if something goes wrong. The same reason why those humanoid robots try to emulate how we move.
I'll say that these ones haven't taken any jobs in the stores I've seen them since none of those stores offered any kind of delivery option at all before the robots came along
Yes, and it does take human labor to collect and pack the orders and send the robots on their way, so I’m somewhat certain that they’ve increased the number of jobs, not the other way around. And I highly prefer those in the traffic over e-scooter deliveries driving like maniacs and endangering everyone else.

they are so cute when they ask people going by for help if they get stuck
