The one thing that always bugs me about Star Trek is the lack of robots doing jobs.
You're telling me that in a society where the pursuit of wealth has been eradicated and people are able to instead pursue whatever interests them, that there are people who WANT to work at a bar and serve people as they get groped and fights break out???

@Mrfunkedude yeah, but most of the folks that work in bars are holograms, so there's that.
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@OldAndCranky Not in the TOS or TNG. Maybe in Discovery but I don't think we've seen that have we?
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@OldAndCranky I watched that too. I like how they survived by the power of friendship! ?

@Mrfunkedude I was just thinking about the holographic 10 forward we saw on yesterday's episode. But yeah, serious lack of robots.
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@Condorito I was thinking more about people on earth then starships.

@Mrfunkedude There is a tiny bit of selection bias too. The Enterprise is a flagship, so the best of the best and most motivated for every job would be selected, or even volunteer. On the good ship 'Ratfuck IV' I'm guessing they dont have a bar, they have a jailbroke replicator and a glory hole in the nonexistent bathrooms.
