Wildly High-Tech2022/06/08

Recently, my local Nishitetsu store has been rapidly digitalized.

At first, there was only a top up machine for nimoca (digital ticket that can also be used for shopping) at the corner of the store. Then an Amazon Locker was installed,

the top up machine was replaced with a Seven Bank ATM, and even a Mercari Post (I don't know what this is) was introduced. These have happened in just a couple of years.

Along with the digitalization, I think I have seen more young shoppers in the store.

Even though it has gone wildly high-tech, the Nishitetsu Store still stocks under garments for elderly ladies (at around 500 yen), which is why I like this local grocery store.


ここのところ、近所のにしてつストアがどんどんデジタル化されています。

最初はニモカ(買い物にも使えるデジタル乗車券)のチャージ機がひっそりと置いてあるだけだったのですがが、そのうちamazonの受け取りロッカーが設置され、チャージ機がセブン銀行の端末と交換され、今ではメルカリのポスト(何なのかわからん)まで置いてあります。

こういうハイテク機器が増えるにつれて、若い買い物客も増えてきたような気もします。

その一方、おばあちゃん用肌着(大体500円くらい)もまだ隅の方で売られています。にしてつストアって、そういうところがいいんですよね。

I heard this beach is man-made and needs to be maintained every year in order to make the surface flat and even. This year’s work to move the sand has started

この浜は人口浜なので、毎年砂を移動させてならす必要があるそうです。今年もその工事が始まりました。
