See Inside a Japanese Convenience Store: Alcohol on Open Shelves!

This video shows the inside of a typical Japanese convenience store. ALL ALCOHOL is on full display for customers to physically examine. It's very different in Japan than in other western countries.

Wait, is alcohol inside closed shelves anywhere?

[@jamesabroadadventures381]

Alcohol is open shelved so customers can actually handle the drinks and bring them to the counter.

lol, yes. The United States, a lot of alcohol is locked up along with detergents, shaving razors and much more. Practically need to bring a clerk along with you throughout a store to shop in CA.

@@user-be6rk1zd4j The mentality of Japanese society is quite different here than it's in the west. There is order and respect.
