Encounters with Customer Harassment in Japanese Convenience Stores

We created artwork that allows people to experience the problems arising from the disparity in stance between employees and customers, by replacing them with animals to provide a comical experience. The observer experiences both the real-world problems and a world where AI filters out aggressive words. AI may also reveal that the participants use different faces depending on their stance. Should the observer rely on AI to correct their behavior, or should they change themselves?
