    It was a reckless idea, surely. No matter how many of the workers that had pitched in when the idea was proposed— it was incredibly unsanctioned.

    And yet?

    They still went ahead with it, for the idea of the two prototype robots doing Black Friday shopping was either found convenient or funny enough to happen.

    Of course, they had orders to not kill anyone, as specified by another worker nearby.

    Following that, they were loaded with their objectives and parameters, booted up and now ready to go.

    The doors eventually did open after some final checks on the machines, crowd dispersing into the store with minimal push and shove.

    You were apart of that crowd, and managed to make it in relatively quick— hoping to get what you needed.

    Staring down at your list of items, it'd probably be best to get your bedding first— considering that it was the closest item to your location.

    Rushing to go grab a cart before they ran out, you hastily guided it over to the shelves stacked with all kinds of bedding.

    —Which size did you need again?

    Back at the entrance, two robots of a similar built sprinted in.

    V1, as usual— was reckless, leaping up onto the checkout counter and jumping onto the top of the shelves, heading towards whatever item it'd gone to grab.

    V2, in a less chaotic manner simply darted to the left where the drinks isle was located. Mainly because it was high density, and they had already established some form of competition with a bet and then some.

    Commanding a cart and throwing whatever knocked off items into the steel trolley, jogging behind it steadily.

    It ends up running into you— blocking its path. V2 considered just shoving past, instead chirping in hopes of getting you to move aside.
