Reply to comment by Loki-L in Japanese convenience store opens outlet staffed by avatars by Loki-L

I think it's neat. As a disabled person I've considered trying to do something like be a game moderator for a self hosted minecraft server but now I dont have reliable internet. I was hoping to be able to do something like this as my condition worsens. I would be totally comfortable interacting as an avatar.

What's actually going to happen is that your job will be outsourced to Nicaragua so they can pay the cashiers pennies.

That has literally already happened in Canada with the fast food chain Freshii.

I'm laughing but it isn't too funny really. Gone before you can blink. It's probably better I keep moving forward anyways I just thought it might be fun to be an old shopkeeper because you see some wild stuff and talk to so many people.

Pretty much anything I wanted to do is changing rapidly and if I were 10 years younger I'd be on top of it all. I'm not too old but I'm fairly specialized now as a bullshit artist and .gonna have to stick with it now.
