I am a guy from the US living in Japan for a decade.
Thanks for answering! As for question no. 2, yeah I forgot some words there when writing that question. I actually meant “Where do you usually use vending machine?” I will edit that question to make it much more clear. Again, thanks for answering! Appreciate it!
edited with response. Thanks!
I use them not that often, but more often than convenience stores.
Usually I the one closest to my house that has the drink I want.
Coke, coffee or icecream.
Supermarket. They're way cheaper there and the supermarket is a 5 minute walk away.
They're the most convenient out of all options. No human interactions, and there is usually one on the way where you're going. If you're at work, they usually have vending machines inside the building so you don't even need to put on your jacket.
Vending machines sell drinks at almost double the price of the ones at super markets and around 150% of the ones at convenience stores, so it all comes down to how quicker it is to buy one from the vending machines vs stores. But when it comes to canned drinks, convenience stores tend not to have the canned ones and only sell PET bottles, and as everyone knows, PET bottles are bad for the environment, and the drinks don't taste as good as the canned versions.
Honestly, I relate to your answers a lot! I mostly go to the supermarket to buy the usual items from vending machines and it's much bigger portion too. In the vending machine nearby the area I'm currently at, I usually 500ml Pepsi can at about 130 yen while in the nearby supermarket, got a 1.5L Pepsi bottle at around 180 yen. Sure, It's not really the On-The-Go portion but it suits my needs because I usually drank sodas at home with my dinner anyways lol
Thanks for answering my questions! I like that you give me some explanation by the end, appreciate it!
Just whenever we need panties or cigarettes
Soooo everyday?
Oh, do you all purchase those often?
I knew that there are vending machines for cigarettes and panties, but I heard from my Japanese acquaintance that there are not really common now compared during the 80-90s (not sure about the time period but this is the rough estimate). I only saw like two vending machine for cigarettes here in my area and saw none about vending machines for panties (maybe in a much more populated area I guess?? idk lol)
If you don't mind, could you elaborate about these type of vending machines? I'm genuinely curious about this (and the reason why you answered these items, instead of the usual items like drinks and such.)
Thank you very much!
I prefer going in the konbini unless there isn’t one near then I’ll use the vending machine. I don’t understand questions two. I only use it to purchase drinks.
Oh! Sorry about the question two, I actually meant "Where do you usually use vending machine?" in question two. Will edit that question in the main post.
Also, thanks for answering! I also get that answer with my other friends that they rather going to konbini if there's nearby on where they will be going in Japan. Again, thanks for the answer!
Hot coffee from a vending machine when it was cold was the bomb. Also, milk tea. I got a lot of milk tea
