7-Eleven Ginza 3-chome — Local services in Tokyo

I bought a chicken karaage skewer and after paying, I walked over to the microwave area to eat it because usually others eat there after using the hot water for their ramen bowls. As soon as I opened my mouth to take the first bite, one of the Chinese workers pointed and screamed at me to get out because they don't allow food inside. She was like get out and everyone stared at me. I think she could have handled it differently even though I'm in the wrong. I felt like I was back in China with the worst hospitality. Didn't imagine getting that kind of treatment in the most polite country in the world.

A middle eastern lady helped me check out and husband was off to the side with drinks we had almost finished from our visit at Lawson's. She looked at my husband and said we needed to pay for it but I told her that it's from another store and she didn't believe us. Luckily I had to receipt of proof to show we didn't steal but right before I took it out she hesitantly said fine even though I said I had proof of payment from Lawson's.

In the end, my visit was extremely unpleasant and 7 Eleven is one of my happy places in Japan. I'll venture to a different location for...

The middle aged lady with short hair has such a nasty attitude. Don’t even offer to do tax free if you can’t speak simple English!

We requested to do pay our item and get them tax-free with one of the younger cashier. She was unsure and decided to get some help from her senior, the middle aged cashier. As soon as she (the middle aged cashier) came out from the back store, she started speaking to us and the younger cashier rudely with some attitude.

We bought a lot of items and she was trying to explain to us we are unable to proceed the item tax free because all of the item we bought can’t fit into ONE of their tax free designated plastic bag. At first we aren’t sure what she meant. So we kindly asked her to explain again. Then, she started to give us another attitude and start raising her voice up to explain to us again with Japanese language. We gave up in the end.

My advice is avoid this...

as soon as we walked in, the cashier has been staring at us making us really uncomfortable. we got water and iced coffee. while i was paying, she didn’t even say anything or help out about how to pay and just stared at us with a rude face then left us alone to use the other cash register and ring in other customers. after we figures out how to pay, friend went to the coffee area to fill up his iced coffee. she was rudely pushing everyone around and even hit my lip when she pointed somewhere w her hand. so i just decided to bring 2 of my friends outside while my other friend gets help from the rude cashier lady. idk if she just hates foreigners or what but she needs to chill. not everyone in the world knows how 7/11 at...
