Although many customers like to have a human face to interact with in a shop, a robot can make a very useful additional employee. Firstly, a robot can perform menial and boring tasks which are dull for human beings, such as stacking shelves, without becoming frustrated. A robot can also move heavy stock, thus protecting the health and well-being of human workers. Financially a robot makes sense for shop owners as, once purchased, it does not need to be paid a salary, and they will never need to take leave. Finally, a robot employee would certainly be something of a novelty in a shop. This might encourage more customers to visit, which could boost sales – an advantage for any business.
