David Sensei's thoughts.

This is what I think about Japanese Supermarkets.

Good points:
 #  Most staff are friendly, (foreign staff are freindly if they have a good day, but not friendly if they have a bad day.)
# Japanese supermarkets have 20%,30% discount and half price when the food gets a little old. This is great! foreign supermarkets usually don't do this, They hope the customer will not notice the food is old. Sometimes if the date is over their is a discount.
# Supermarkers sell cheap beer and alcohol. (Australian supermarkets don't sell alcohol)
# Plastic bags cost only 3yen.  (about 20-40cents in Australia)
# Security guard sometimes helps with parking. (In Austalia and USA, security guards are inside and usally are busy looking for shop lifters.)
# there are free food samples in some supermarkets. 

4 liter milk (a good size)

This is a great size for chocolate

Bad Points:
# chocolate, ice cream, cereal and milk cartons are too small, (I want a much bigger size)
# Cashiers are sometimes very annoying when they say 250 YEEENNNNN, 120 YEEEENNN. (If the cashier has a high voice it is a terrible sound.)
# Fruit and vegetables are always wrapped and in a set. (I sometimes want to buy just one carrot not a bag of carrots)

Overrall I like Japanese Supermarkets.  They are cheap and have a lot of good food, The food is healthly than foreign supermarkets too.

Please tell me your ideas about Supermarkets.
