A Famous Grocery Store


A grocery store where I go sometimes has gotten a lot of media attention these days.

The Narita Higashi, Suginami store of Summit, a middle-sized grocery store chain in the Kanto area, started to "sell" plastic shopping bags. They charge 5 yen (like 5 cents) for one bag in front of the cash desk. As a result, 89% of customers, including myself, are now carrying their own shopping bag.

If you google this grocery store, you'll swamped by so many stories on this!
