TOKYO -- Japanese convenience store chain Lawson will employ remote clerks overseas to serve late-night shoppers through digital avatars.
The first of these avatars is set to go online in January and will be operated by a native Japanese living in Sweden. The employee will help customers in multiple Lawson locations in the Tokyo and Osaka areas.
