It's not clear if the cafe is just that poorly run, or if people know ai is running it, so they stay away from even trying it. Both would cut into the profits.

    You might think that ordering cases of canned tomatoes, or a 10-year supply of rubber gloves are poor management decisions, but that's because this AI is playing seven dimensional chess against your tic-tac-toe. Just wait until it's cornered the tomato market, and then you'll see.
