If you shop regularly at Stop & Shop, you likely have seen the tall robots roaming the aisles. His name is Marty, and his job is to ensure the shelves are full, and there aren’t spills on the floor. He is also programmed to complete other inventory tasks, and other functions essential to the store’s operations. Next time you see him, wave and say hello!
we just saw him the other day !!
managers were doing some testing with him & moving things it was pretty cool !
Lol it looks like the two guys are creeping on Marty
Gail Pinto ?? they were haha ! they actually scared the crap out of me at first
Lol
Theres your $15 an hr lol
Jim Klimovich agreed
Jim Klimovich this is in my local store which does not pay $15. So, I call B.S.
Do all stop and shops have him??
Gabrielle Mauriello
They’re being rolled out to all stores eventually.
I’m waiting for the security robots/drones, only a matter of time.
Nancy Hannah here you go!
No his job is to replace the $15 an hour employee that will ruin the workforce
so what should people work for 2 dollars an hour?
Tim Higgins I’m sorry did I say $2 an hour?
It didn’t replace any workers jobs? It’s just supposed to report spills throughout the store and the. Someone goes and cleans it up. Not that big a deal.
Giants in PA are starting to get them lol
Now everyone is gonna lose their jobs everyone better start learning a trade soon otherwise you’re gonna be replaced by a robot
This robot isn’t replacing people. She’s basically an add on. They don’t hire people to walk around the store like that and when she does find something that needs tending to, an actual person has to come do it
Toni Passarelli
Brittney Ann Merkel well he sucks at his job bc i almost broke my leg from the spill on the floor 10 inches away from him ?
I was in the Jackson store today and I saw it for the first time.
Tom’s River has one ,moves really slow
Kinda creepy…lol
Lisa Marie How come this one has a cute face on it and yours doesn’t?!
Probably because of the clientele in that store. LOL
Niki Vasta
Britney Wood I’ve been posting about Marty! LOL
My daughter saw this the other day thought she was ready to be blown up she was freaked out.
WTH!!!!!
Too bad jobs are lost to a robot
Geri Guadalupi do u just look at pictures? It doesn’t do anything except answer questions and advise the staff of an issue…
Reading is fundamental…read
Katie Kennedy Bettencourt I read it took inventory
Marty…Destroy Humans!
That’s what you get for raising the minimum wage
Jennifer M Grippe same ole Republitard sound bite.
Dominick Carnevale Sr. Do you own a business? It sounds as though you have no idea of the other side of this
Dominick Carnevale Sr. This is direct reflection of wage increases … along with self check outs. There will also be significant price increases on many products
Oh God its started! John Connor failed us
Saw one in the Piscataway store last night. Thought it was a new security system.
Dan Sharkey
Karen E Hurley
Tiffany Hurley ridiculous
Maybe he took all the chopped beef Lynda Jean
Susan Ferrera Busardo I saw him when I was there!
It’s annoying
So how many jobs have Marty taken away from people…. ?♀️
Zero. It’s an added job that no one is hired to do
Cathy Amoia Scuderi idiot
Andrew Limone look at this!
So much for the $15 an hour. Pretty soon everybody will get replaced with robots!
Damian Arduino the radical left doesnt get it. Employers are not going to just pay a higher wage scale and not find alternatives AND raise prices. I am an employer…if my labor goes up 30 percent (from $10 to $15) my prices go up 45 percent…minimum to maintain reasonable margins. This sounds insane…until the ENTIRE COUNTRY does the same thing. How far does that extra 5 bucks an hour get them now? Restaurant food pricing will sky rocket.
Bill Wright and when you raise your price, I will no longer patronize your business. I’ll go where they don’t raise their price. So, good luck.
Dominick Carnevale Sr. So bill should just take the hit and pay his employees what can become even more than he pays himself? Small business owners can’t afford to do this, they will go out of business and now less jobs are on the market with more people unemployed.
Dominick Carnevale Sr. it is not going to happen…that’s the part you dont get. NO ONE will sacrifice profitability
Dominick Carnevale Sr. How do you expect anyone to raise wages and not increase pricing and or decrease jobs? You clearly have never had your own business or had P & L responsibility working for someone else (look at gasoline pricing and how the cost per barrel changes per gallon pricing … wages = barrrel cost and price per gallon = product or service)
Thank you to our esteemed Governor. How did you think companies were going to react to forcing $15/hour on them?
where is this so called 15 an hour jobs are that you are talking about…the minimum wage is going up to 10 in the summer that is nothing compared to NY. It has nothing to do with 15 an hour, if they had the capability of replacing everyone with a robot they would do it now
I’m not going to Stop&Shop anymore????????
Thats what a $15 minimum wage brings … along with more self check out
you need to bring Abigail there to meet him
It’s a waste of money. I’ve seen it. If someone sees a spill or causes a spill, most likely they will say something to get it cleaned up.
Marc Ottaviani
Another job replaced bt a machine. 🙁
Lillian Kennedy nope.. add on
Add on? Add on a human!
They’ve already trained us to be our own cashiers. But the prices won’t go down, their revenue just goes up.
Denise Casazza sooo true.. i hate self check out
Thomas Leodis get used to it. If wages continue to climb it is the only thing that makes sense. self checkout everywhere includng those annoying ziosks at restaurants. everyone will reduce their labor force at entry level positions to compensate. it is either that or raise prices. They cant just eat the additional cost of goods…ESPECIALLY restaurants where labor is 25 to 35 percent of their revenue now.
I shop there regularly and saw this the other night. The people that work there and the pride they take in keeping the store clean is why we do. I was very disappointed to see this. There are many people that rely on these jobs.
Mark Johnson they still have their jobs lol he’s just extra help
Mark Johnson for now…
Marty just guides them to where they need to be. No one is loosing their job
Devyn Summers extra help that would have been done by a human.
That robot should be a human being who needs a job. Same with self checkouts. A person is put out of work, a customer does that work for free. Shameful.
Linda Richardson Bottani shameful is raising the minimum wage to the point that businesses are replacing employees with stuff like this in order to be
Profitable. After all the end goal is being profitable or everyone is out of a job.
This nonsense started before the new minimum wage laws were on the books.
Linda Richardson Bottani cuts hours, deploys nonsense robot.
Yeah cause it’s your company ? Who are you to state how someone should run their company
Linda Richardson Bottani another idiot. The robot didn’t replace anyone’s job. It literally looks for spills to announce for a real live human to clean.
Surely you can express you your opinion without calling people who hold a different opinion unkind names
Linda Richardson Bottani no whats shameful is an employee that thinks they are entitled to be disrespectful..and by that i mean..not only to customers..but supervisors and coworkers by showing up.late not doing the job..not knowing how to.properly do ur job…been in retail all my working career (I’m 58) And.guess what…Marty has.my vote…self checkout has my vote
Cindy, LOL maybe if you didn’t stalk it you would have gotten back faster! Smarty Marty! LOL
Do you want robots to rise up in rebellion? Because this is how you get robots to rise up in rebellion
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. 🙂
Liz Applegate there he is!
I wonder how many real life people this thing replaced
Al ONeill who cares , it’s not your company
Al ONeill none considering you still need a person to come and clean up said detected mess
Laura, you’ll care when you or someone you care for losses their job to this nonsense.
Get used to it there is 15 a hour
I just saw this in the Howell store.
Does Marty dispense lottery tickets?
Wait till Marty becomes self aware and goes on a killing spree! You want Skynet because this is how you get Skynet!!!
David Korba better get that phase plasma rifle in a 40 watt range now.
? I’m laughing hysterically…. My cousin posted a picture of one of these robots near her, and your comment is exactly what my husband had commented to her…
Except none of the other functions work besides Detecting messes and paging for assistance . Someone still has to go out there and clean up
https://youtu.be/xDISZCydqis
Greg she said can you point to it LMFAO
Cassidy Simon Kanniard Memom saw one on Thursday at our store. Scared the sh*t out of her.
Which store is this in? I haven’t seen Marty in Brick yet, though he looks like he’d be a hoot to grab a beer with ?
It’s in Brick
I’m there a bunch – never saw it
This photo was taken today at the S&S on NJ 37 in TR.
Ocean County Scanner News it’s also in the brick store
Tony Kono she’s in quite a few. Eventually all. I’ve seen her in freehold and Monroe but I heard a few other locations as well
Keyport as well has Marty lol
Niki Vasta Marty is a she? I knew that actually ?
Ocean County Scanner News saw her tonight in The Lakewood store on 9
There he is, ran into him yesterday
drinks on me!
Marty the man. The one and only employee who won’t say no to anything. They’re employee of the month board is going to be hundred of photographs of this champ
Mike Scardilli Jr.
Kaycee Houser TOLD YOU I SAW IT
Mike Scardilli Jr. didn’t even believe you until right now
Jay Ramirez HERE YOU GOOO!!!!
Dev Shepard hahhahahhaha fucking thing was wondering around not working wen I saw it lol
lmaooooooo
That is entirely sexist! Of course they would give the job to a ‘male’ robot. I am so writing a complaint.
Read comments above. Marty is a girl.
Then why does it say “he” in the description
Either way it’s still sexist cuz they gave the crappy cleanup job to the ‘female’ robot. I’m still writing a complaint
So it doesn’t matter if it has a male or female voice, you’re still going to complain?
Roberta-Max Omictin seriously?! Lmfao pathetic you are
Umm it’s called sarcasm. Apparently all those who laughed at my comment understood that……???????????????????????????? LOL
Roberta-Max Omictin we call ours martyetta it has a female voice
Saw one the other day in Whiting.
What in the living shit. Unemployment on the rise in very near future. Between our shitty government and now robots. Smh
She isn’t replacing anyone’s job, just an added feature to the store. Still need people to clean or fix whatever Marty detects
Dave did u see him when u were in the store earlier? Jill was like WTF is that thing! ?
All we need are cars that fly in the air and we will be the Jetsons, just like the cartoon.
They use this to help detect spills etc. Lowers their liability insurance.
Doesn’t replace anyone. Added feature.

Doesn’t replace anyone. Added feature.
It scared me! I turned around it was right behind me
Hey Ocean County Scanner News, Marty is actually a SHE ? I’ve been posting videos about her lately lol my job has me in a bunch of different stop and shops so I get to chill with her everyday. She actually spent Thur fallowing me around ??
She’s not equipped yet to do inventory but eventually she will. As of now she just scans the isles for spills or messes that need attending to, then announces clean up on isle whatever over the intercom. She’s way cool
Niki Vasta
Thanks for the insight! She is quite a looker!
Haha no problem
Niki Vasta Isn’t inventory from a 3rd party or does S&S do their own?
April Thompson it depends. Some of the brands have their own vendors who come out but stop and shop has employees who have to go around and scan everything and mark how many of the product is on the shelves
I don’t work for stop and shop but the company I work for is doing remodels and merchandise resets in all stop and shops currently so I’ve been in a bunch of them
Niki Vasta its scanned when Cao is off from theft and breakage
Niki Vasta bet she found Brick SS to be a mess.
Lmao wouldn’t be surprised. And Gloria, cao?
Just a matter of time?
Jason Stone
Niki Glidden Kraemer it tried to touch my but
Jason Stone sue!
So annoying. Beeps every two seconds
I think it’s pretty cool. There’s always someone complaining about something in here.
Marty Andersen you got a second job? ???
SO glad I retired a year and a half ago so I don’t have to put up with this shit.
Bryan Bodziak I see you have a new coworker! ?
Samantha Oelfke yes I do
Fucking Murphy and his $15 min wage….?♂️
Robots are taking your jobs ? ?
#15perhour
LOL
Yup… There’s your 15.00 an hour answer and he doesnt need smoke breaks and doesnt call out sick… aaaaaand he speaks spanish
Yup. He yelled at me in Spanish….and said there is a mess. How about clean it and stop blocking the aisle bitch..
Holly Worth..does your store have one..
Lori Fischer yes we just got him
Holly Worth its neat looking
Lori Fischer he looks like a tall bean. Lol
Everyone commenting saying peoples jobs are being replaced. No. She goes around looking for messes then announces where clean up is needed and an actual person has to come clean it up. They don’t pay people to walk around the store so really it has its own job
Niki Vasta yes ask my son!!! Marty does not clean up lol
Nope! Even when she’s programmed to take inventory, they’re still gonna need the employees that do that now to keep the shelves stocked and up to date. She’s literally just an added feature that’s affecting no ones job
Niki Vasta the porter walks the store every hour looking for spills so they do pay people to walk around to clean up
Gloria MacKenzie I know I see them often and they still do that. They just have some extra help now and they still have to do the actual work if Marty finds something
Niki Vasta give it time. no one adds artificial intelligence without the intention to broaden its scope. It does simple tasks in order to implement it and pilot it as well as track its reliability. I see it becoming a scan and go “cashier” in the future in addition to basic inventory management.
Well they already have self check outs so might as well make it where people are no longer needed. Yea right can you imagine though
Beep Beep !
Alexandra Gallarello
Brian Kale yoooooo lol
They have one at the Giant by me in PA…its pretty neat actually
Lindsay Hanfield ??
Julie Fallon can’t wait to see it!
Julie Fallon oh great, I’ll never be able to bring Colin to stop and shop ever again! ?
Chadwick Hayden
If somebody brave enough to tase that robot it will burn his circuit board
The way of the future….with minimum wage increasing to $15 @ hr., people will be let go. Don’t think for a second that Murphy cares for the low skilled worker. It’s a ploy to increase unemployment before the next election. They will do anything to secure control
Saw the one in Whiting this morning. Surprised me, I knew about them coming out, but it was the first I’ve seen.
Emily Covella not happy! The robots are going to take overrrr
Yup your nightmare is coming true. I don’t want to see a robot roaming the store. Creeps me out!
I’ll kick it!
Pasquale Ippolito oh shit ?
Tara Caravello
Megan Ann Omg!!! See! I wasnt crazy! The kids ran away. They thought it was a vacuum that was going to suck them up. Lol
Am I the only person who is creeped out by robots? If I saw this thing, I’d run in the other direction ?
Nicole DeBrango I saw this thing today! I turned around and it was towering over me. Spooked the shit right outta me and Mike ?
Heather Peterson omg that’s terrifying ?
i Just saw one of these in lancaster, so thats what it is… Jacquelin Raferty
There’s your $15/hr right there..
Denise Desiree Capizzo Stewart yep, spend a hundred grand to save $15. Per hour.
Dominick Carnevale Sr. In the long run it will save money. This is just the beginning of automation
Dominick Carnevale Sr. My son told me they’ve had these at the grocery store he shops at out by his school in PA for a while.
Here’s one of my Marty videos. I think this is the one I did an experiment that was an epic fail lol
Oh shoot that’s just a pic ????♀️ wait..
Here we go
She kept making clean up announcements because of all the crates we had on the floor lol this wasn’t my experiment video
Bonnie MacMillan his name is Marty ?
Nick Horvath he’s pretty cool, but creepy too
Jaymie Taltyhave u guys seen this??
Sandra Audria we saw it today.
That’s crazy.. people need jobs , not robots
I saw it juul vape
I just kept staring at it
Saw this this morning..most ridiculous thing ever! Total waste of money
Great let’s take away jobs from people
This robot is named Marty but honestly sounds like kaitlyn Jenner ???? and before you know it I am sure it will take over peoples jobs in the future I bet just like the various stop&shops that was on Strike will be all of Nj next year come on talking about 15 a hr maybe for robots but I honestly don’t see it happening for us hard working individuals and familes
Eileen Strallow show Billy ?
Missy Jemison Sochacki ?
He’s Willies new best friend!
Teresa Travers Graham
Job stealer
Lol..what will they think of next
I swear …people are either lazy or stupid..read! She isnt replacing anyone…
Mark Farley and it begins
More wasted money
There is one in stop n shop in Tom’s river off of route 9.
He scared the hell out of me coming around the corner.
Not impressed. Taking a job from someone who needs it.
Denise D’Amico DiMarsico
Well hello there tall,dark,faceless and limbless.
Mandy Wallace Vanessa DeCesari
Karen Chambers
I call ours Martha
Jennifer Martinez
Dawn Marie Piccione I am there almost on a daily basis and have never seen it!
maybe an overnight thing?
Not yet
Well…if it came to that it would be the fault of those looking to get 15 bucks an hour for a basic no skills job Patrick Cooper you think people working stocking shelves or ringing up groceries deserve to be paid what the beginning hourly wage is for your job?
Chris Mackey did you see this?!
Horrible.
