Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What really happens inside a Japanese convenience store at 3 a.m. Behind the blazing lights and perfect rows of onigiri is one of the world's most demanding and quietly extraordinary jobs. In Japan, the convenience store, the konbini, is not just a place to buy snacks. It is a node in the infrastructure of daily life: a place to pay your bills, mail a package, print documents, and find a warm meal when everything else is closed. This book goes inside. It follows the full 24-hour cycle of the konbini worker from the 5 a.m. opening shift to the deep quiet of 2 a.m. and examines every task, ritual, and human moment that shapes the job. From the precise art of bagging groceries to the philosophical education of the night shift. From the regulars who come in every day to the strangers who arrive in tears. Part cultural portrait, part behind-the-scenes investigation, Life Working in a Japanese Convenience Store reveals what this remarkable job teaches us about precision, community, and what genuine service actually means. For readers of Convenience Store Woman. For anyone who has ever wondered what Japan is really like.…
