　　4.Robots Won't Get Tired Of Shopping

　　Say hello to your ultimate shopping buddy⁴! It's not all the time you can get a friend to tag along on all your shopping adventures. There are just some who hate shopping, and we're not only referring to men. Having robots for friends ensure you limitless shopping hours, or at least until you literally⁵ drop, in which case they can just drive you home. You don't even have to glare at robots to make them carry your bags because they instantly will, without you asking them to. Where can you find the friends who can do all these things?
