 Okay, so the story on the Honda / CarMax deal was an April Fool's joke, but it wasn't totally out of the realm of possibility, as shown recently in Japan, where little Asimo got a gig as a $5.25/hr wage earner in a Tokyo department store. According to Reuters, the Asimo started off last week as a store clerk apprentice for customer services, showing people to the elevator and helping promote products. Apparently even a machine worth at least $50,000 has to work hyr* way up to full store clerk.
<font size="small">* hyr is my new gender neutral 3rd-person possessive pronoun for animate objects. Other suggestions are welcome.
