$15 miminum wage?------I spent a weekend on a cruise ship staffed by robot bartenders

I spent a weekend on a cruise ship staffed by robot bartenders | The Verge:
 "The two robots are perfectly efficient, fast bartenders. 
They always select the perfect amounts of Bulleit borboun, ice, and lime, and shake it just so before dumping it carefully into my plastic cup.
They move in fluid, full gestures, almost as if they're human.
(Their programmers studied an Italian dancer, strapping sensors to him as he moved and using his movements to teach the robots how to operate.)
They pick from 127 bottles arrayed above them, and at one point, they stop pouring drinks and they dance."
