Vote for your favorite "conbini"

[ultragaijin]

Vote for your favorite, then rank them in order if you want.

(Also let me know if there are any good ones we should add to the poll.)

EDIT: Thanks to kamome for inspiring this poll in this thread (http://www.fuckedgaijin.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15).

Can I take credit for coming up with the idea to rank conbinis? After all, I was the first one to rank them, in my reply to the Circle-K bentos post.

It is a toss-up between am-pm and Lawson. There was an awesome Lawson in my old office building with the largest selection of bentos I had ever seen. But am-pm seems to be offering better hot bentos, without preservatives. Disclaimer: I have an am-pm in my own building, but it sucks. I guess I got stuck with a runt version of a real am-pm store.

y'all best recognize--its all about SUNKUS!

one day on a trip to buy some GARIGARI kun, the clerk behind the counter rang me up and instead of giving me the standard lifeless 'arigatou gozaimasu' he just smiled and said, 'sankusu'!

I was laughing my ass off. you just can't beat SUNKUS-- fine service AND quality dajyare

I lived for 6 months near a Family Mart in Roppongi that was anything but family friendly.

Best I could tell they got 95% of their revenue from booze, tobacco and pornography.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I really wish they'd stop selling cigarettes, and concentrate on pushing more booze and porn.

[kamome]

I sense a new poll: Which conbini pushes the best/most booze and Pr0n? I think Lawson may have the best selection of both, but I can't remember. It's not like I would actually BUY that sort of thing. :biggrin2:

This is all you gonna get. (http://www.fuckedgaijin.com/forums/showthread.php?p=91#post91) What do you think I am anyway, your little step-n-fetchit beyatch? I thought you had an Asimo (http://world.honda.com/robot/) for that.

y'know, you CAN post your own polls.

[kamome]

Didn't expect you to actually follow-through with a new poll. But I laughed real hard when I saw the pornbini poll. Thanks, you step-and-fetchit beyatch!!! :lol:

[miniGaijin]

aren't you gonna vote? :cry:

[miniGaijin]

I frequent family Mart. I think it's my favorite because.....it's rigth down stairs. Also I do enjoy saying it....Famuri Ma-to. Just sounds rigtht to me.

my original favorite was circle K.

In Aomori prefecture, there was only Circle Ks around at first. Then Lawson showed up then Sankusu.

Lawson was just downright awesome.

What about Mini-Stop. They're few and far between (at least in my area) but make fresh sandwiches, chicken, pizza (although microwaved), etc, while you wait - sometimes a bit of a wait but way better than the packaged similar stuff at other Konbinis. Not a lot in the way of good Japanese bentos though.

imho Seicomart is the best!

cheap, the staff always seem friendly , u gets a customer card.... well i just love seicomart as it reminds me of that conveni store in shenmue... ^^

[American Oyaji]

Anyone else heard of Seicomart?

I havent and I lived in Aomori-ken


Is this just a Hokkaido combini?

[katakori]

i honestly think lawson is the best because of their awesome new gourmet onigiri, but (some) am pm features muji stuff, including dried natto. i think this is the coolest thing i have found in a combini really

[Big Booger]

Sebun Erebun Ikibun !!! :D

[katakori]

please accept my apologies... i voted for am pm and i mentioned their muji corner, but my brain was confused at the time and i meant family mart......
