The Globe reports the Prudential Center is no longer being patrolled by the vibrator robot it brought in this past May.

Perhaps if they got Trogdor instead things would have been better.
Sloppy Usage

The first sentence of the Globe article is, if not exactly grammatically incorrect, sloppy usage:
"It looks like at least one robot won’t be taking a human’s job — for now, anyways."
Merriam-Webster identifies "anyways" as "nonstandard, colloquial, or archaic." Grammarly.com instructs "'anyways' is generally accepted only in colloquial speech or informal writing".
Nitpicky I know, but just one more little sign of the decline of the once excellent Globe.

They will be filing a labor dispute with the United Automatons of America against the Prudential Center for an unjust termination.
Suck it meatbags!

Lazy robot

I wanted it to burble or something like R2-D2 when people walked up to it. I couldn't figure out why they got it in the first place. Anytime people walked near it it would just stop and it seemed to spend a lot of time on its charging mat next to the the concierge desk. Just zero personality.
Oh, you expected it to have the GPP

Sounds like SOP for a mall cop.
