The Ito Yokado Incident

I'd left the supermarket and was halfway down the street before the check-out girl caught me up. She bowed, apologised twice, and handed over my change. It was a one yen coin. There are two hundred to the pound.

    Outrageous. You'd never find that kind of thing happening in the Czech Republic!

    *sigh*

    And guess what? They even put the change in your hand here. No scrabbling around on counters for one crown coins in Japan!

    That's incredible - I get the feeling that over here you'd get chased down the street for not leaving enough.
