The point isn't being bothered by drinking something someone sniffed. Actually, an AI sniffing is more sanitary anyway. No boogers possibly falling into the tea, or little skin flakes. *shudder*

The point is that it's against MA law to resell tea that's already been sold, even if it was never consumed. It's against health codes or something.

Neko_Ali:
Because once a food product leaves the control of the restaurant or whatever they have no idea what might have happened to it. That would include a robot sniffing it over in the corner. Malicious or accidental contaminants could be added. If they resold some of that tea and woops, some cleaning fluid was added and nobody noticed and someone got sick drinking it that's a big ol lawsuit and safety hazard. If for no other reason Dora should avoid it because it could utterly destroy her business.

TheEvilDog:
Once money has changed hands, any foodstuff should be considered consumed and selling any leftovers is a massive no-no.

And an AI chassis is no more sanitary than a person. Consider this; Bubbles works in a machineshop - that involves machined particles, various fluids including industrial lubricants and other substances not fit for human consumption. Bubbles might wash her hands before leaving the workshop, but those particulates can be notoriously difficult to remove with just a handwash, largely due to them not being on the hands, they can get caught in the hair and so on.

It doesn't matter if all Bubbles or any other AI does with the tea is just sniff, it should be treated as contaiminated/consumed and therefore should not be resold.

Tova:
The point has been well made.   :police: :mrgreen:
