The future is now, and boy howdy is it generally disappointing.

But every once in a while, I see something that makes me think “Yeah. This is the kind of stupid, wonderful stuff I was expecting of the future.”

Like in this video from TikTok user @peytonreesenelson:

“I just door dashed Cava because I’m traveling for work,” she says, seated at a small table in a hotel room.

“And they didn’t bring me a fork.”

“So I called down to the front desk asking if there was a fork I could use, and I’m pretty sure she said a robot is bringing it to my front door, and the phone will ring when it’s here, which I have never heard before. If a robot actually shows up at my door with a fork, I’m gonna be kind of freaked out.”

“You guys, there’s literally a robot at my door.”

“What?”

What exactly is the etiquette for this situation?

They kind of nailed the design.

Maybe they designed them TOO well.

But as anyone who travels a lot will tell you, this is a real struggle.

Last time this happened to me I ended up buying an entire pack of disposable forks from a 7/11.

Would have much preferred the robot.
