Re: A plea for a quieter pit area
Perhaps the next time I hear someone shouting "Robot" behind me, I'll simply turn around and say "And?". If a conversation ensues, maybe I'll remind them that "Robot" isn't a complete sentence.
If enough people do that, folks will sooner or later learn that shouting "Robot" does not relieve them of an obligation to use both their brains and those manners their grandmother taught them.
Yelling "Robot" (and some of the other stuff that passes for creating a safe transportation environment) is not a well-thought out method for safely transporting a bulky, and often awkward and/or oddly shaped machine in a crowded aisle.
