The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Convenience stores in Japan are much more than the cigarettes and lottery tickets of North America. They have lots of ready-to-eat food, snacks, drinks as well as some banking services, bill payments, faxing and more.

Ours have that too, but it's old hot dogs and ATM's with fees up your ass.

Yeah sorry. I should have said "ready-to-eat food that you actually want to eat". As in hot food regularly being cooked and refrigerated food that is brought in fresh multiple times a day.
