On my way home from work, I went shopping at Joshin. While riding my bicycle, what seemed like a small bug suddenly flew in my eye. While feeling like "I need to quickly go to a store washroom and wash this off...", I rushed into Joshin's washroom. Taking advantage of the opportunity... I bought two Playstation 2 games. When I think of Joshin.... I think of how when I was a medical student, I often went to the Joshin in the Senbayashi shopping center. Before that, it was a Topos... I often bought dinner there. That was a store I always used when I was in university, so it's an important store in my memories. That Topos closed on the day that I moved out of my apartment located in front of the school. It was an amazing coincidence. On the day I moved out, I visited the store while thinking that I'd probably never come here anymore, and that was the day the store closed. I've heard utensils used in the restaurant managed for many decades deteriorated in condition as the store closing drew near, even though they weren't in bad condition up until then. This is a strange phenomenon faced by managers who run a store for a long period of time. This case may be different in nuances from that case, but I feel it is nearly as mysterious as that case. |
