Aug 30, 2018 at 8:26 comment added TheLethalCarrot @ColonD To be honest I didn't think that was actually the story you was describing. It is, however, close enough that I thought it was worth mentioning in the comments just in case you have got two stories mixed up or something like that.
Aug 30, 2018 at 6:42 comment added ColonD @TheLethalCarrot I looked at it. It looks similar. Maybe the one I read was inspired by it or something? I definitely remember the main part of the story was the support guy explaining the 3 laws of robotics

Aug 29, 2018 at 13:24 comment added TheLethalCarrot It is similar to Robbie by Asimov but doesn't match most of your description.
Aug 29, 2018 at 13:23 comment added ColonD Could be, but I don't remember. I tried searching on google with keywords like "Isaac Asimov child robot milk chess" but didn't get a good result
Aug 29, 2018 at 13:21 comment added SQB The Three Laws of Robotics? Do you remember if it was an Asimov story? (It does sound very Asimovy).

Aug 29, 2018 at 12:46 comment added TheLethalCarrot Years matter because it helps track down the story, searching by date periods is very helpful. You can edit this into the question.

Aug 29, 2018 at 12:44 comment added ColonD This is basically the entire story I think. The support guy offers some other robot and the story ends there. Not much else I can remember. I don't remember exactly when I read it, but I sort of remember the book from which I read it being old and tattered, so I don't think the year I read it matters.

Aug 29, 2018 at 12:34 comment added TheLethalCarrot Do you remember how long ago a long time ago is? Was it new then? Do you know anything else about this story? Any other plot elements, character descriptions, the outcome of the story? And if this is a short story can you add the [short-stories] tag? It helps catalogue questions.
