Like something out of a Pixar film, a robot that roams the aisles of a grocery store in Pennsylvania staged a proverbial great escape and wound up briefly wandering around the parking lot. The amusing incident reportedly occurred at the Great Food Store in the community of Hellertown, where the automaton dubbed Marty monitors for spills, provides price checks for customers, and alerts employees to out of stock products. Since being introduced a few years ago, the googly-eyed device has become a familiar fixture at the supermarket, toiling on the job seemingly without interruption until this past Sunday when Marty made a break for it.
