Back in the 60's, OSH was THE Hardware store you wanted to have nearby. They had all the esoteric bits and pieces that most stores lacked, and you could still buy nails by the pound, bolts and screws individually (not packaged three to a pack), and the employee's knew how things worked and how to fix them! Then sadly, they were bought up, first by Sears, and later by Lowes. Each year saw fewer and few items on the shelves, more and more prepackaged widgets, and fewer and fewer people working out on the floor - and those who were left seemed to know less and less.... I guess it IS the perfect environment for introducing the robotic store clerk. It won't be any worse than what it is replacing now, but what a shame to see such a fine institution so debased.
