      Smart way to solve multiple problems at once. they get 24/7 coverage without forcing locals to work graveyard shifts, and it’s giving jobs to Japanese people living abroad. that actually makes sense.

      But why use an avatar instead of the employee face?

      Combini in Japan are already full of Indian workers anyway.

      Imagine waiting in a virtual queue at 2am to check out of an empty store: your sale is very important to us, the next available representative will be with you in eleventy-seven minutes.

      How does this even work?
      An avatar appears and does what?
      I assume barcodes must be scanned… so a customer will have to physically do that. Wouldn’t it be better to have self checkout at that point??
      If a customer wants to send an item via Yamato or such what happens?

      The article is very sparse
