Daiso - Japanese Household Goods — Local services in Brentwood

Greeted when you walk in and offered a basket, she was really nice, as was all the staff I interacted with :) but I went to just check out the store, not stocked well in terms of candy/drinks, the one drink I did see that I wanted only had damaged cans (Kona Coffee).
