I wonder why that is. In Japan it feels like they actually provide great value for what you're paying.

Japan's population is declining so at some point (very soon), Japanese companies in general will have to start paying more attention to their revenues outside Japan.



The weird part is, they don't feel like they provide a good value. Family Mart is obviously better and if you can find a grocery store within walking distance of work, it's the obvious choice. But they are still good enough, where if there is any issue, you feel fine giving them your money.

There has to be something. Maybe America has just been abused by MBAs for so long.
