Will Not Take Breaks; Does Not Scare Geeks

The new Future Shop at Dundas and Yonge opened Friday, and as shoppers entered they were warmly greeted...by a projection. "Aaron" scrolls through at least six messages, which include guessing you're a Scorpio and asking if your bag is big enough. On Saturday afternoon, customers seemed to ignore the greeter avatar while heading into the store. Here's hoping Future Shop gets the hint.

If you need more of Aaron, you can also find him online. Anyone else smell a whiff of Minority Report?

See another video of "Aaron" after the jump!
