Setting: Hardware store.
Doors: Entrance is a double non-automatic door. Exit is a double sliding door.
Time: 2:00 PM.
I saw the absolute largest man I have ever seen before enter the store. He seriously looked like Hagrid (From the Harry Potter series.) would run away in fear from this guy. He ducks a bit to avoid hitting his head on the upper rim of the door, and goes in and to the back of the store without a word. He picks up his hammer and his nails, and goes to the checkout. The cashier asks him if he has his Customer Deal Card, (<store name> card.) and receives no response. He hands her a crumpled wad of cash as payment, arm remaining outstretched for the duration of their transaction, and eventually receives his change.
As he walks out, the automatic double doors are on their way to closing shut. The ox-man manages to time it just perfectly enough to meet the doors before they have a chance to open again. He essentially plows right through the doors as if he had walked through an empty hallway. The doors are now on a diagonal instead of horizontal, and well off their proper locations in the door frame.
The ox-man does not notice and continues to walk to his oddly small car in the parking lot, and does not look back as I and the managers race to fix the doors.
...
So. Robots. They exist?
