Two beady white eyes blink at me from the touchscreen below. “Did you get everything you requested?” a prompt asks me. “All set,” I press, and it asks me what I thought of the service. Amused, I rate it five stars. The little robot hoots and twists a few times in a poor imitation of Chubby Checker before motoring off down the hall."Don't worry.
