One of the things I will definitely miss when I leave Japan is convenience store staff. Unlike what I'm used to in America--i.e., apathetic grouches or suspiciously zealous managers--the staff in Japan are curiously cheerful. They're polite, helpful, enthusiastic, and proud of what they do. Today, after giving omiyage treats to a second junior high school, I stopped by a convenience store on the way to the bus. The staff there have been so nice to me, I decided to give them some omiyage too. The ones on shift happened to be a former student of mine and a mother of a student.
ONE GOOD DEED: Give omiyage chocolates to convenience store staff.
