As you have lived in the U.S. for a longer period of time, don't you start to see the good and bad aspects of Japan, and the aspects that need to be corrected?
If I had not come to the U.S., I would not have noticed that some things are common knowledge in the U.S. I am not an American fanatic by any means.
I have seen and know a lot of the "messiness" and bad aspects of America. However, there are many reasonable and good aspects. The purpose of this topic is to discuss everyday examples, and to get the word out and spread from this place to Japan.

My dream is that some local government in Japan will discover this topic and start working with the topics discussed in the topic and say, "Let's create a model city ！ that is different from what Japan has been used to.

The topics are limited to topics related to Japan.
Politics, economy, weak police force, corona problem, injection problem, working style, internet diffusion, stocks, virtual currency, English education, prices, land prices, earthquake, defense problem, lack of credit card diffusion, lack of my number diffusion, health insurance, retirement benefits, tax evasion friendly society, criminal friendly Self-Defense Forces are paid too little, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. ？ Let's discuss anything else.

＞ Did you mean to make one payment ？

Sure, sure, I didn't understand what you were saying at the beginning either.
Isn't there a system in Japan where you can pay the amount you want to pay on the settlement date of your card on your own?

I have all my credit cards, utilities, and cell phone payments set to Auto Pay and automatically
deducted from my bank account automatically.


＞ I mean, it's a cell phone
＞ Even Marukai is mobile over here

Do they think it's so cool to pay by cell phone?

I used to use Google Pay a lot when it started, but it was a hassle to take out my phone and turn it on every time I wanted to pay.
Now it's one action - just take out your credit card and tap it. Especially at Costco gas stations, I just tap my credit card first and do nothing else.


＞ You can use it right away, then ask questions. Please speak Japanese....

Also, in Japan, when you use a debit card with credit card functions, you have to put in your PIN, but the card terminal asks you to put in your PIN even if it is a pure credit card.

I gave up on card payment once because of this. I have to ask my PIN from the credit card company before I go to Japan next time...

Sorry for derailing the thread, Topix.

In Japan, many stores do not allow returns, so shoppers are cautious.
In the U.S., it became a hot topic when a youtuber revealed that returned luxury bags are cut to shreds by store employees and thrown away in garbage bags. I know there are many circumstances, but it is better to be able to return it.

If you say you don't have a PIN, you can just sign it.
