1. You want to let your customers know that the store is closed now.

2. (At the register) "I can help the next customer in line."

I have never been to Japan. Therefore I am interested in learning their retail culture as well. Anything would be new to me.

Thank you for all your help.
Not all retail clerks speak or are they expected to speak the same way in Japan. How you speak depends largely on what you sell and what price range your merchandise is in.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
