You can't just place vending machines in offices, schools, elsewhere and say hey look at my invention and hope everything turns out great....or can you ?
Bodega may not have to pay rent for physical stores or employ store workers. But Bodega doesn't eliminate the complicated costly logistics of a convenience store or a vending machine.
"Just like a vending machine or a store chain, Bodega staff or contractors will still need to buy a bunch of products and drive to stock them in many different locations. Maybe -- maybe! -- AI software can tailor inventory to each location, but it will be many many years before robots can pick up cans, chip bags and little Advil boxes, walk them into an office or store, unlock the Bodega cabinets and place the items on shelves."
