“Family Mart (全家) will be launching its first wave of technology concept stores making use of artificial intelligence to make coffee and offer other services”
It would be nice to have this kind of service for some things. I always have to interrupt the clerk to turn on the printer. It would be nice to be a pre-approved customer and the printer can just work.
I wonder what will happen if you’re a bad customer. Do they zap you or net you or give you your own personal spotlight? That might not be a bad thing too.
My local 7 clerk knows me and comments if I haven’t been in the shop for awhile. I like the human interaction.
When I’ve used stores like this I didn’t miss the interaction with the store clerks. Most interactions with the people that work at convenience stores is business like at best anyway.
