Fans Are Furious Over Robot Bartenders At MLB All-Star Game

For years now, Major League Baseball fans have become so frustrated with umpires messing up calls that they've called for robot umpires to take their spot. But what did we get instead? Robot bartenders - something nobody asked for. 

On Wednesday, the Texas Rangers revealed their new robot bartenders that will be serving drinks to fans during the upcoming All-Star Game taking place at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

I mean just look at this atrocity:

ALL-STAR GAME TO HAVE ROBOT BARTENDERS 

The new video shows a giant robot made of various white parts and wearing a plastic Texas Rangers helmet and jersey pouring and mixing some sort of Jack Daniel's drink and I honestly hate it.

The Rangers announced that they would have 2 different robot bartenders available in the 100 Sections during the weekend's ASG festivities. First up, you will have "ADAM" located in Section 111, which "can make drinks, clean up after itself, greet customers and carry on simple conversations," according to Jakub Campbell, who is an engineer at Richtech, the company that created the machine.

"It’s not just a robot. [Richtech Robotics] wanted it to have a personality and they can talk to you, it waves at you, gives you small talk, stuff like that," Campbell continued. 

Just what a baseball fan wants to do - have "small talk" with a damn robot after your team gave up a go-ahead-run. 

The other robot is ‘Rotender,’ over in Section 125. Rotender can make automatic cocktails and drinks in "30 seconds" after fans order the drinks like they're trying to get a damn Burger King Whopper.

Got to hand it to these tech designers out there. So hell-bent on saving a few bucks or trying to show off your new innovations that you're going to go after the little guy and the bartender who is just trying to make money via a service job and get by in life. All so a hunk of junk named ‘ADAM’ can have small talk with fans. 

Needless to say, fans are FURIOUS at the robot bartenders.

FANS HATE THE ROBOT IDEA

First off, there isn't any way this robot is going to survive till the 7th inning. You just know some Texan that's had one too many bears is going to tip this thing over, or that fans are going to just start pelting this machine with things. 

Next, if you think I'm going to tip this heap of metal, you have another thing coming. But, knowing the way MLB stadium prices work - they are probably going to upcharge the drinks to begin. Something tells me that still won't stop Mr. Roboto from trying to scam an extra $1 out of me somehow though.

ROBOT BARTENDERS TAKING AWAY HUMAN JOBS

Will the robot be able to understand if I want "just a splash" of cranberry juice? Doubtful. What about "go easy on the ice?" And has anyone factory-tested the robot's "fingers" to see how well it performs after opening 1,500 Coors Lights and Hard Seltzers? This is All-Star Weekend. After all, there is not a lot to do during the Celebrity Softball Game besides drink.

There comes a fine relationship between a man and his alcohol. It's a tale as old as time - ESPECIALLY in Texas. The last thing MLB, the Rangers or anyone should do is try to disrupt the perfect Circle of Life that has been going on for centuries.

Finally, does anyone actually think this is going to work? If we've learned ANYTHING, it's that when you introduce automatic or robot components and still have some sort of human interaction, it's going to take twice as long - just look at the self-checkout lines at Walmart and Target.

God forbid when the thing breaks down - even by its own doing or restless fans.

If I'm at Globe Life Field, I'm purposely going to the human that is carrying around some tall boy beers rather than waiting in line to see the robots. I guess you could say I'm rooting for Team Human over Team AI Robot. You should do the same!
