Robotic vending will become more popular. I saw a huge machine on a college campus that was about as large as a storefront. It was like a convenience store that worked like a pick & place machine. I think it was called "Shop 24". It accepted credit cards so it had an internet connection which means it likely transmitted inventory updates.

It was just the other day the wife noticed a fast food restaurant worker return to work after a rest room break, without washing her hands.
Sounds like a Seinfeld episode, Poppy! Anda onna thisa there canna be no debate!

Too bad Robin Leach isn't around to report on these Caviar (dreams) and Escargot-dispensing "Vending machines of the Rich & Famous".
