My impression was that in Japan, retail establishments are typically expected to be elegant, cute, neat, etc. How did Don Quijote become so popular while going so heavily against this trend?
Or perhaps my impression was completely wrong?
- asutekku 7y agoIf you go to an supermarket or any department store in japan you will see that’s not the case. Maybe the touristy stores are neat (that’s the case everywhere) but the stores people use in their daily lives are more or less just filled with stuff from top to bottom.
- _cs2017_ 7y agoSomehow I feel even the basic 7/11 in Japan is more elegant / neat compared to the 7/11 in the US. I don't know, maybe it's just some subconscious bias on my part.
- asutekku 7y agoI don’t know how it is in america but coming from the northern europe for me most of the stores here are borderline messy and hard to navigate even if i know the language.
