Daiso - Japanese Household Goods — Attraction in New York

You can find cute things here for cheap but what took away from my experience was the rude employee. I went to cash out and the guy with long hair and glasses kept ignoring me. I said excuse me, where do I cash out?" not even a look. He just kept working. Then I read the sign that said to put zero quantity for bag, but I needed a bag.

However, what I didn’t like was the music playing in the store. (Honestly, I wouldn't even call it music.) I imagine most people visiting this space have some connection to Japan or Japanese culture, so it would make sense to play something that reflects that—either Japanese music or at least something more neutral.
