Conclusion

It’s very simple steps, isn’t it?

If you don’t know the tip, you will miss the good service at convenience stores in Japan.

I like the takeout coffee at the convenience store, cheap and fast.

The only bothering thing is the name of the size is different in each convenience store.

And, if you don’t have small cash, you can use prepaid transportation card in sted.

When you are paying, tell a cashier to pay with “IC card”.

After he/she says the reader is ready, just touch it with your card.
