Shakes

 is a Protectron robot that functions as a bartender in the Federalist Lounge at Tenpenny Tower. Initially he serves drinks at one of the highest prices across The Wastes, however, if one hacks into his programming terminal his prices can be lowered significantly. The terminal is beside him on the bar and if one hacks into it they can program Shakes to either have a "Holiday Discount (10%)" or a hefty "V.I.P. Discount (50%)" (but not, unfortunately, both). Of course if one is caught doing such a thing, Shakes and all the bar patrons will become hostile.

Shakes serves only alcohol and stimpaks.

Effects of player actions
If you convince Tenpenny to allow the ghouls to live at the tower, Shakes will survive even after the ghouls "purge" the tower of its human residents. It is also worth note that Roy Phillips does not find killing Shakes essential, meaning that as he is not human he can be spared unnecessary death in the attack.

Bugs

 * With the "Holiday Discount" enabled, talking to Shakes will cause him to say "Happy Holidays, care for a drink?" However the text reads "Happy Holidays, dare for drink?"
 * Even though Shakes is innocent and meant to survive any attack on Tenpenny Tower, re-entering the lobby cell will cause the feral ghouls to attack Shakes if they can detect him.
