I wish here in the USA we could get convenience stores even close to how good they are in places like Japan and Thailand. Why do they get 7-11: The Good Version?
Look at the average US 7-11 employee. Do you actually want them manhandling your food? We get prepackaged food because we have strict kitchen regulations because the average minimum-wage employee is kinda lazy and has poor hygiene.

On the bright side, at least I can buy fruit without being super wealthy. What you lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts, I guess.
What fruit is so expensive in Japan?

Not an expert, but from what I saw: fancy peaches sold individually and melons. These are supposed to be good gifts to bring as a guest.

High-trust, high-conscientiousness society. Look at the average US 7-11 employee. Do you actually want them manhandling your food? We get prepackaged food because we have strict kitchen regulations because the average minimum-wage employee is kinda lazy and has poor hygiene.

True
> 7-Eleven (“sebun irebun”) becomes “sebu-ire”.
I don’t think so. We, in most cases, use “seven (se-bu-nn)”instead.

Its one of the big three out there, along with 7-11 and Family Mart.
There are other smaller chains as well. I think I saw more MiniStop (sp.?) in Sapporo than Lawsons or Family Mart. But those three are definitely the biggest.
That bento looks amazing for 5 dollars! It really can't be that cheap and look this good.
