The Japanese Sushi-Robot Apocalypse has Begun! One of Japan’s little pleasure is the conveyor-belt sushi restaurant. (Seriously; they’re awesome.) Here is the Misawa Sushi-Bot telling me where my table is, some of my choices, and to enjoy my meal. As always when confronted by /1 
Japanese robots and holograms, I instinctively catch myself bowing in response and saying arigato. That’s how Skynet will come - bearing healthy lunch choices. But the Japanese are on top of your robot anxiety! You can hit the Lawson’s corner store - yes, Americans, Jpn still /2
has Lawson’s - after lunch and buy a highball in a can. Hah! Awesome. If only Americans would put high-end cocktail drinks in beer cans, Madmen wd have been such a better show. So calm your A.I./Mechagodzilla fears of incipient robitization. The Japanese are way ahead of you. END
ADDENDUM: In case you’re wondering about Japan Lawson’s, like it’s the Midwest in 1974, here you go. Shoulda take a pic of Zima there too. Alas
